Great Collection; Beautiful Piano,
This review is from: Fernando Ortega - Beginnings (Audio CD)
BEGINNINGS by Fernando Ortega is a 2 cd set featuring selections of some of the "early" recordings of this great pianist primarily drawn from four albums: Meditations of the Heart, Meditations of the Heart Encore, Hymns and Meditations, and Night of Your Return. While many of these cds are available for purchase online, it is nearly impossible to find them in your typical Christian music store.
Of the thirty-four songs on the album, seventeen are instrumental. Songs from Meditations of the Heart include: Sacrifice of Praise, Living Water, Morning Star, Family, I Love To Praise Your Name, and As For Us. (Six of the ten songs on the album) Songs from Meditations of the Heart Encore include: I Remember Well, It's Your Love, Tossed On The Wind, Teach Me Thy Way, and Creation Sings. (Five of the eleven songs on the album). Hymns and Meditations: Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing, Near The Cross, Softly and Tenderly, Nothing But The Blood, and I Need Thee Every Hour/Just As I Am/ Come Ye Sinners Medley, What Wondrous Love Is This, Con Que Pagaremos, Brethren We Have Met To Worship, Sacred Head Now Wounded, and Nearer My God To Thee. (Which appears to be the entire album of Hymns and Meditations) It also seems to include all the songs on Night Of Your Return as well. (My Song Is Love Unknown, Praise To The Lord, The Almighty, Night Of Your Return, Mi Abuelito, Chimayo, Jesus, Lover of My Soul, Here Is Love, Road Song, Stricken, Smitten and Afflicted, This is My Father's World, and Green Pastures.) With two complete albums and two partial albums, BEGINNINGS is well worth the price and is a great addition for any Fernando Ortega fan's collection. This piano music is wonderful. His style simple but beautiful.

This review is from: Fernando Ortega - Beginnings (Audio CD)
I absolutely love this album, and I have waited far too long to get it. If either you are a music enthusiast or a serious Christian, this is a must. It is so absolutely peaceful and relaxing, and can be quite profound in its effect. Especially do I enjoy the tracks, Green Pastures and Stricken, Smitten and Afflicted. There are also a couple of Spanish songs here, as well as several instrumental pieces sprinkled throughout, which I personally love. A few more secular songs are here, but in good taste. This album is a practical steal for 2 CD's worth of music. Don't pass this up.

I keep coming back to it...,
By Meadowhaven (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fernando Ortega - Beginnings (Audio CD)
I loved "Beginnings" the first time I listened to it, and have found myself coming back to it ever since. It's peaceful, meditative music, but not "muzaky" or moody. There is substance to these songs that reflect an obvious relationship with the Lord of all, and a love for the world He's created.
