5.0 out of 5 stars Simplistic, touching and perfectly sung, November 16, 2001

I first heard Fernando Ortega when he collaberated with John Andrew Schreiner on one of the "One Voice" series that John had been producing.
Fernando stood out like a beautiful gift.
I knew right then that we would be hearing more from him.

His music is fresh......deep and very personal to listen to.
He lends his voice quite genuinly and appealing to our emotions, and of course touching our hearts and spirits with words that fit perfectly with his voice.

I Love his music, and I consider myself a fan owning all of Fernando's music on Cd now.
It seems like our christian singers from the 80's and the 90's have dissappeared into a typically Praise congested atmosphere.
Where orginality is replaced with community offerings,
But to me.......Fernando's music is very much personal.
Faith that runs deep and his music touches that part in me that has been avoid for so long in needing the musical and lyrical
contemplation.

I recommend all of Fernando Cd's, however........"The Breaking of the Dawn" and "In a Welcome Field" are the two to start with.
And if you like Piano Music.........Fernando is a classicaly trained Pianist and offers two Cd's wholey devoted to his Piano artistry......"Meditations of the Heart" (grand Piano)

I am a true Fernando Ortega fan. I will admit that IN A WELCOME FIELD is not as exhilarating as Ortega's previous projects, THIS BRIGHT HOUR, and the BREAKING OF THE DAWN, but IN A WELCOME FIELD is still a great work -- certainly worthy of your money and attention. I would without hesitation recommend IN A WELCOME FIELD to anyone who values quality music with a timeless message.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another inspiring Fernando Ortega CD, August 30, 2002

Fernando Ortega is a multi-talented musician. In this CD he arranges some of the songs, writes the words to others, and writes both words and music for yet some others. His songs are often contemplative such as "Chimayo" where he considers the seasons of life and "Till I Reach My Home" where he celebrates God's presence and support in the trials of his life. Other especially memorable and touching songs include "Through the Fire", "Father of My Heart", and "Into the Morning". I took away one star because of the somewhat discordant "Walking on the Water", but all in all, this is an excellent CD.
