Editorial Reviews

One of the great Mexican voices of the late 20th century sings a collection of standards accompanied by just two guitarists.The uncluttered arrangements allow the focus to remain on Ana Gabriel's exquisite voice,which soars like never before or since,technically dazzling,gravelly,and full of pathos.This cuts to the heart of Mexican music,the way these songs were written,just a guitar and a voice exposing the art of the material,filling the reverberant recording space in a way that the huge pop tracks usually heard behind Gabriel simply cannot.Her voice is the perfect vehicle for the passionate tragedy underlying all great Mexican songs.Even the realization of new love in"Hay Unos Ojos"is tinged with recognition of the pain in the eyes of the beloved and the anticipation of a doomed relationship. The closing track,"Valentin de la Sierra," which details the execution of a revolutionary,becomes an unconventional anthem of useless sacrifice,and the music at the end seems to slow with the weight of mortality.This recording is somewhat of a departure from Gabriel's usual style,but it is one of the artistic high points of her career.~J. Chandler,Rovi~

5.0 out of 5 stars Ana and her beautiful angelic voice......., June 9, 2004
This review is from: Joyas De Dos Siglos (Audio CD)
I had no idea that I was buying such a beautiful album the day I picked up JOYAS DE DOS SIGLOS. Ana will break your heart with her beautiful renditions of classic mariachi, corridos and rancheras on this album. I was used to her more contemporary, poppy sound and didn't know how her voice would make the transition to more traditional pieces. Ms. Gabriel has a voice that is best described as rich. That thick, heartbreaking, "fat" mariachi voice. It tugs at your soul, penetrates your thoughts and draws you into the music whether you are a native Spanish speaker or can only respond to the universal form of expression through song.

Some of my favorite tracks on this album by far are the mariachi love songs. ("Un Viejo Amor," "Hay Unos Ojos") and the corridos as well ("Pobre Bohemio," "Valentin De La Sierra"). Though, I am a South American/Estadounidense, for the whole duration of the album Ana Gabriel made me feel Mexican! Que vive, Ana!

5.0 out of 5 stars Avid Listener, May 17, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Joyas De Dos Siglos (Audio CD)
This CD 'Joyas de los dos siglos,' and 'Ayer y Hoy' are her best CD's. They touch my heart and soul like none other of her CD's. If you are a fan of Ana's, and don't have these, you don't know what you are missing. Her interpretations are compelling and haunting.
