Customer reviews for Alegria:

• Alternative greatness. (2008-08-09)
  
Tired of mainstream? This CD is full of inspiring musical compositions not based in the Top-40 foundations. It opens a world of possibilities that you may have not considered in music genres. Most of the songs on this CD are either wordly energetic or joyous to your tears. If you crave music with an artistic flavor, powerful beat, and strong foreign impressions, this CD will make you smile. The French lyrics, mixed with classic symphonic and playful instrumentals, will entice you again and again. Highly recommended.


• Another Place (2008-03-01)
  
What more can be said. If you saw Alegria then you know this CD is awesome...so you must have a need for another copy, or you forgot to buy it at the show. If you haven't seen Alegria (like me; i saw another show) then someone must have turned you on to this CD. GET IT! It's great. I'm actually listening to it right now as i type this review.


• Too much ado.... (2008-02-08)
  
Bought the album because I liked the title track "Alegria" when I first heard it on the web. Exotic with a touch of decadence....
Pity that most of the other tracks were not up to standard.

End Result: disapointment
Moral: don't buy entire album judging from just one track, because you might be in for an unpleasant surprise.....
Caveat: De gustibus e de coloribus non est disputandum


• Au Dela Des Couleurs by Francesca Gagnon (2007-05-16)
  


If you like Francesca Gagnon's haunting voice on this Cirque du Soleil soundtracks check out her other CD Au Dela Des Couleurs


• Beauty, Passion and Madness (2007-03-22)
  
This CD is a bacchanalia. It is ecstatic and blissful and alien and sad and insane. There are so many worlds contained in this music that it's hard to describe. I have to say I've loved this CD for more than a decade and it has been a source of constant agony and joy and ecstasy. It doesn't age. It is a classic. There are so many nuances in it, so much fantasy, madness, passion and creativity that it is truly one of a kind. Each song produces a peculiar state of mind. I don't know how else to describe this experience. I'd say my favorite experiences are Mirki, Vai Vedrai, Querer (awesome!) and Valsapena. Please buy it and take the time to listen ... REALLY listen to it and experience it.
