5.0 out of 5 stars a beautiful voice worth listening to!, October 26, 2004

By	D. Pawl "mariposarosa2" (Seattle) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

The first time I heard the song "Amor Eterno," (the first cut on the first CD of this album) I was in a singing class. A young Mexicana--one of my classmates--belted it out with so much expression that I was almost moved to tears. It has the combination of beautiful melody and lovely lyrics (Eres la tristeza de mis ojos/lloro de silencio por tu amor--Translation: You are the sadness in my eyes/I cry in silence for your love) that stir your heart and are also sweeten your ears. Rocio is a true cantante de las canciones romanticas (singer of the romantic songs). Most of the music on this double CD album is either slow enough for a romantic evening, spent in the company of a lover, or is lively enough with spicy lyrics that make you think. Either the soulful Spanish songstress is beckoning the embrace of a sweetheart or turning away to reject the heartbreak from a failed romance.

My favorite tracks, by far, are: "Amor Eterno" (Track #1/CD #1), "Perdoname Olvidalo" (un duo con Juan Gabriel--he wrote this track along with "Costumbres" and "Diferentes," which are featured as tracks #1 and #8 on CD #2). Rocio's voice is best-described as purring, expressive and very sexy. She sings in a comfortable mezzo range and really captures the mood and the content of the songs in her interpretation. It is no wonder that she is so popular in her native country of Spain and throughout Latin America. This is what I like to call traditional romantic Latin music at its best. Stay close to someone you love and enjoy this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars lo mejor de lo mejor, October 7, 2000

Even though not Mexican, Rocio Rurcal is placed among the great singers of Mexico. She sings with such passion and soul. She will be considered one of the most influencial singers of her time. She will be placed among the great singers of Mexico, with the likes of Amalia Mendoza, Lola Beltran, Lucha Villa and Maria De Lourdes. This c.d. is one of great ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente! Y Nada Mas., May 23, 1999

By A Customer

I have been a fan of Rocio Durcal for many years but with this musical collection she became an Icon of the Mexican song. Although Rocio is from Spain she sings the songs of Mexico as only a true Mexican at heart could. This collection offers the listener a good variety of songs from the treasured "Ranchera" to the new "Romantic" sound. Rocio sings "Amor Eterno" with passion and soul and perhaps in the best style of any other singer. This collection of music is pure enjoyment. Rocio Durcal is certainly a great artist!
