5.0 out of 5 stars I have been searching for this for years!, October 1, 2003

By 

Gaye Somerton de Jimenez (Barrie, ON Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Maria Elena / Always in My Heart (Audio CD)

Like one of the previous reviewers, I was introduced to this wonderful music through my father. We had a Scott stereo system at home with Tannoy speakers - and this music is some of my most favourite. I had the honour of seeing their farewell concert at Massey Hall in Toronto in the fall of 1979, and I cried all the way through it. I have looked for their recordings in CD's for years, and am happy at last to be able to purchase them. Is "Casually Classic" no longer available? How sad - it was one of their best. I danced to "Maria Elena" with my father at my wedding - it remains one of my most cherished moments. These artists will not pass our way again - do yourself and your CD collection a favour, and buy them - today.

5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding compilation, February 28, 2001

This review is from: Maria Elena / Always in My Heart (Audio CD)

This is an outstanding compilation of Los Indios Tabajaras. There are no words to describe accurately the talent of these Brazilian guitar virtuosos. If you are looking for the very best Latin American strings, this is certainly it. But even if you agree that this album is excellent, another album, Casually Classic, is way above perfection. I am not exaggerating; those of us who have been lucky enough to have listen to Los Indios' Casually Classic will never forget the experience. That's the only time in my life that an art form has given me goose-bums all over my body and has made me shed tears. What is it in their performance that is so sublime and soul-touching?? I guess I'll never know. Lamentably, this rare recording is no longer available but it certainly exemplifies the level of beauty of their music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forever Los Indios Tabajaras, August 18, 2002

By 

Long Distance Voyager (Hong Kong, China) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Maria Elena / Always in My Heart (Audio CD)

Back in the early 60's, if you had a stereo pickup (which was the latest technology of sound reproduction at that time), one of the LP you must have is "Always in my heart". This LP together with Enoch Light's "Persuasive Percussion" (please also see my review on this one) is what we call today as demonstration disc for HI FI system. Fortunately, my father was able to have a stereo pickup at that time, so I could enjoy the music of the Los Indios Tabajaras in my childhood. This CD comprised of two albums, Maria Elena which brought fame to the Los Indios Tabajara in the U.S.A. and the follow up "Always in my heart" which was a best seller around the world. I love their music, so I bought this CD even though I have already had the "Always in my heart" CD (which is only available in Hong Kong ) and a BMG Ariola Express budget CD titled "Romantic Serenades". This is the kind of music that you will never get tired of, especially all the tracks originally in the "Always in my heart" LP (track 13-24 of this CD) which are indispensable. Just for your information, after listening to this reissue by Collectables Records, I noticed that the master of the Hong Kong "Always in my heart" CD is used, which is not the original master tape from RCA, I don't know whether RCA still has the original in its vault.
