Free Music Review: Domingo's Best Crossover
Hit: 5 Stars
Pl?cido Domingo, a native Madrile?o, spent many of his formative years in Mexico where, to judge from this spine-tingling selection of Mariachi songs, he absorbed some of the most vibrant aspects of its musical culture. Unlike many of his other crossover albums hampered by linguistic awkwardness, stylistic incoherence, or soupy easy listening arrangements, this compilation is a great accomplishment.
Here Mr. Domingo's burnished tenor voice brings a good dose of beauty and operatic ardor to songs which, be they about love-loss and the tequila that helps ease the pain, the glories of Jalisco, or more tender shades of love, allow the male voice to explore the depths of unbridled manliness. Mr. D?mingo might lack some of the cavalier charm of some Mariachi greats, but he more than makes up for this with a voice that very few of them could match in terms of focus and sheer size. Most importantly, few singers of any musical tradition can match the complex blend of vocal colors he brings to each song.
His voice is supported magnificently by famed producer Bebu Silvetti's orchestral arrangements which, though simple, succeed in making explicit the simmering energy pervading each selection. Only the lovely "Si nos dejan" verges on clich?d with its rather unimaginative generic "Latin-sounding" introduction which thankfully soon gives way to D?mingo's voice. Three classics, "La malague?a," "El jinete," and "Cuando sale la luna," stand out as particularly accomplished selections where voice and orchestra help paint a vivid portrait of brooding passion.
For those who are already familiar and appreciate the great Mariachi tradition, this disc is a must-have. For those who only know about Mariachi from Mexican restaurant kitsch, this disc will show you how it should really be done.
