5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, July 25, 1999

By A Customer

Great! This CD is great, however, I believe that it is wrongly classified as Vicente's 1st CD. I have his first record. It was titled "La Voz Que Usted Esperaba" and includes such hits as "La Copa Rota." Vicente sings it like no other.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great showcase of an outstanding voice., September 18, 2001

This one is slick! I have several of Chente's recordings and they
are all very good. He is most loved for his more macho rancheras
found on many of his other collections, yet it is in this group of 15 ballads that I feel he most expertly uses the top end of his legendary voice to add just the right touch. These songs showcase the full spectrum of his amazing voice in a very smooth but powerfully impressive way. If I could find any fault in some of his rancheras (hard to do) it would be that the top end of his vocals are used a bit too much, and thus do not sound as dramatic as they can in his more balanced tunes. This is not a consideration in this group of tunes. The musicianship is excellent and Vicente's vocals are without comparison. His power and clarity seem to be effortless and he uses the full range to really paint a musical picture in each song.
Most awesome are the catchy tunes "Me Basta", "Preso" and "Todo Se Derrumbo Dentro De Mi" ...and the other twelve! There really are no duds on the disc. I know some Vicente purists will think I'm strange for preferring this disc to some of his other greats but believe me, this is one awesome display of his greatness and an enduring listen. Give it a shot, it's a nice change of pace for Chente fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars 15 Greatest Ballad Songs with Vicente Fernandez The Number one, February 12, 2008

By	Kokegg (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

The songs in this album are well-know ballads songs, however they are not his typical Mexican Ranchera songs. He does a good interpretation of these songs. You will find these songs sung by pop singers such as Jose Luis Peralez, Raphael, Emmanuel, Jose Jose, Paul Anka, and many others and not necessarily ranchero singers.

While these type of ballads songs are not Vicente Fernandez style (ranchera/macho style), he does an excellent job interpreting these songs. In short if you are looking for a collation of his best songs, these are not. If you are looking to listen to Vicente Fernandez outside his ranchero style, you will be very happy with this album. Recommended.
