4.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderfully original work in Andean music, January 30, 2002
This review is from: Pilgrimage To the Andes (Audio CD)
I first played this one while I was working, and only half-listening... but it grabbed my ears and I had to go sit down and listen to it -- its just beautiful!
The first 7 selections comprise a Catholic Folk Mass, all done in the Andean style with Folk instruments, and the vocals of Mauricio Venegas-Astorga are among the best I have heard in Andean music ( and I have a big collection!) The music varies from slow-moving to very bright and fast. Music is a subjective thing, very much in the "ear of the beholder", but I believe this CD will be appreciated by anyone who has enjoyed the Andean style, and by many others as well.
I did not like the second section ( Part 2, # 8 - 12) as well, thus my 4 stars instead of a full 5. However, that section is still above average in my opinion.
