2.0 out of 5 stars A compilation which does not do an artist of his greatness justice., March 29, 2009

This review is from: Herencia (Audio CD)

Ismael Rivera was one of Salsa's all-time greatest singers and an artist whose influence can NOT be underestimated. This anthology focuses primarily on his biggest hits but any serious fan will know that there are too many others missing. What would be really nice is that Emusica reissue all of Ismael's solo albums on CD as he was an artist whose albums were great from beginning to end. On the plus side, this collection's sound quality is very good and the booklet essay and archive photos round the package out nicely...but a 2-CD set would have been more appropriate here. Do I recommend this CD? Only as an introduction to this legendary Salsa sonero's vast catalog.
