I just received my copy today (thanks Michael!)
I LOVE THIS CD!!!! ( although, I too, could do without the operatic Be My Love )
I am surprised some feel that Bireli's solos are not "worked out" enough!
Isn't that the whole point?!?!
Isn't that just the thing we all love about Django (and Bireli and Fapy and Stochelo and the rest (and by the rest, I mean all the other Gypsy greats, not the unsung members of Gilligan's Island)
Go back and listen to Django's recordings, some of those projects could be referred to as "rushed" by some, but it's the feeling, the emotion he put into this music that reaches us not the overall production quality. It's not supposed to sound like Fleetwood Mac's Rumors (or any of their work, come to think of it)
Just my dollar's worth
(now that it's worth about two cents)
...I totally agree...great CD, apart from this dud final track which i keep skipping over...bummer as it's a waste of a track...my wife has been a life long opera buff even had to leave the room on that track!
