5.0 out of 5 stars Accept No Substitute: THIS IS THE ORIGINAL!, November 26, 2007

Re-read Cam's review. He's dead-on. This is the original, an effort unmatched by any, including Sosa, Carreras, et al. My original LP, purchased decades ago, was copied to multiple casettes and sent to friends. The LP simply wore out from repeated playing. The original local boys - Ramirez y "los Fronterizos" - laid down music that set a benchmark for passion. As with the original Phillips nonpareil recording of Missa Luba, one wishes only that there had been additional lyrics and music added to the Mass. Buy the CD and enjoy; buy two and put the copy in the safe deposit box.

5.0 out of 5 stars The original - and still the best, August 29, 2007

This review is from: Misa Criolla (Remasterizado) (Audio CD)

For all of us who, in the 1970's, fell in love with the original Philips vinyl LP of Misa Criolla by los Fronterizos, this is the CD you've been waiting for! Don't be misled because this modern reissue of that wonderful old masterpiece doesn't feature the iconic deep orange album cover (see my alternate customer image above, at the top left of this page); the cover art on this CD is simply a reproduction of the LP sleeve from its initial South American release in the 1970's.
Digitally remastered in the US from the original tapes, this CD release of the classic old LP absolutely sparkles; reproducing, in stunning depth and crystal clarity, the verve, passion and rhythms that captivated us all those years ago. From the first deep, insistent throbbing of the bombo drum, you will feel the hairs on the back of your neck rise in awe and delight!
Be aware that los Fronterizos later recorded another performance (which, I must admit, I haven't heard), but this CD is the original version and still by far the best!
Don't worry about any of the others, this is the real McCoy - just buy it, buy it, buy it!

outstanding - just like the original - only now in CD. This recording is still the best - less "polished." but Ariel Ramírez obviously liked it, and it has all the emotion.
