3.0 out of 5 stars A smattering of Cirque, May 1, 2001

By	Jeffrey A. Bartlett (Harrisonburg, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Cirque de Soleil's colelction is in affect a best of CD, but it is hardly that. Certainly the pieces on this disc are the most memorable of each show, they seem to lack something. this is because Cirque de Soleil is an experience, each song on an album influences another, they must be listened to in order to truly experience them. The songs on this album aren't bad, in fact, they are excellent, but they aren't quite as good as if one were to purchase the albums tehy are taken from and listen to the whole album from start to finish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music like this is hard to come by, October 28, 2002

By	Mtnmindy (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews

I don't normally write reviews for CD's. I usually stick to books, however, I have to make an exception for Cirque Du Soliel.

My dance teacher had first used the song Mystere for one of her performances and ever since then, I have been hooked on their music. I'm sad to see Rene Dupere leave Cirque. In my opinion, and in the opinion of many other musicians and composers, Rene is one of the best living composers. This album is perhaps a collection of his greatest peices. It does have one piece from Benoit Jutras but in my opinion, it doesn't match quite the level that Rene's are at.

If you are interested in Cirque's music, I think this CD would be the way to go.

4.0 out of 5 stars Correction, July 22, 1999

By	J. K. Grence "the Cosmic Jester" (Superstition Mountain, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

just wanted to fix a slip in my review- I said Kalandero is in Mystere- it is actually in Alegria. When I said Mystere I was thinking of the song Birimbau- both are track 3 on their respective CDs.
