5.0 out of 5 stars Color of Music, January 8, 2005

By	Jordango "ViveLamourBoheme" (Northwest, USA) - See all my reviews

Cirque du Soleil are revolutionaries in the performing arts world. They have stood up and presented something fresh and new to the world, the world loves them for it, as do I. Essentially, they basically mix together performing styles of all around the world and mix them with exciting new visions. The end product is a dazzling spectacle of circus, acrobatics, dancing, makeup, costumes, set, and lights. And of course, music. Though only the music is a poor substitute to actually seeing the shows, the composers have made a fantastic job of making sure the music can stand on its own. And not only stand on its own, but reflect the actual shows themselves through the music. While listening, you can almost see the complex makeup, and the flourishing colors. Indeed, one who knows nothing about Cirque du Soleil can certainly hear the colors of the music itself as expressed through instrumentation, harmony, pitch, melodys, and percussion. This is the best way to start listening to Cirque du Soleil. Simply buying one of their albums is great, but their shows are themed, thus there are a range of different sounds that you may not hear based on the fact you only have one album. This album combines their sounds into a rich mixture of tracks from their best shows. I reccommend this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Breathtaking Music, October 4, 2005

By	Ed Martin "Ed Martin" (Long Branch, New Jersey) - See all my reviews

I didn't buy this cd off of Amazon, at a Borders Store actually. But anyway this cd is absolutely amazing with a 14 selection of absolutely breathtaking performances and compositions from the world renowned Performance Show known as Cirque Du Soleil. With spellbounding varieties of music on this cd from the show. It's an absolutely worthy CD to buy. Hands down--you'll love it! Just buy it and hear it for yourself!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not completely le Best of Cirque De Soleil, January 10, 2005

By	Pandja (Utah,) - See all my reviews

Musical choices were poor. There are better songs that they could have chosen for this album. Eight out of the twelve songs were good, especially the first song, Egypte. Color photo's are great, but do not be mislead by the photo's when choosing this album.
