Содержание диска говорит об очень высоком уровне таланта композитора у Дидье Маруани (по крайней мере в то время). Часть 3 оперы я долго считал самой лучшей инструментальной композицией из всех, что я когда-либо слышал. Недалеко от неё стоит и седьмая часть оперы. Эти две композиции подлинно обессмертили этот альбом. В целом, этот альбом является лучшим у Дидье Маруани.

Cordilleras means "mountain ranges," and this album was conceived as a celebration of the majestic mountain ranges that form the backbone of the American continent. The group -- with members from Mexico, Chile, Peru, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. -- Echoes of Incas plays Andes-inspired music combining native instruments (pan pipes, flutes, drums, and percussion) with Spanish guitars, keyboards, and nature sounds.

For years, if you wanted a comprehensive Chicago hits collection, your choices were slim. 1975's single-disc/eleven-track collection, Greatest Hits (Chicago IX) remained your best bet, but it only included tracks from the group's beginning to the mid-'70s (without question their best years). On the other hand, if it was Chicago's power ballad direction of the '80s you were after, your only choice was 1989's Greatest Hits: 1982-1989.

Чарльз Ха́рдин Хо́лли (англ. Charles Hardin Holley), известный как Ба́дди Хо́лли (англ. Buddy Holly; - американский певец и автор песен, один из первопроходцев рок-н-ролла. Несмотря на то, что его успех продолжался всего полтора года (будучи лишь 22-летним он погиб в авиакатастрофе), критик Брюс Эдер описал его личность как «самую влиятельную созидательную силу в раннем рок-н-ролле».

Given his versatility -- skipping from opera to art song, and even Broadway show tunes with an enviable ease -- Bryn Terfel is the perfect candidate to pull off what so many operatic stars try without success: a musically satisfying crossover album. Unfortunately, this isn't it. The opening "Toréador" from Carmen is over-sung and lacks style; the folk songs, like "Danny Boy" and "Shenandoah," and even the Welsh "Bugeilo'r Gwenith Gwyn" are shapeless and bombastic; and in general, these favorites are sorely missing the expressive imagination, soul, and vocal charisma that made Terfel such a star.
