Stirring.......2006-04-05

I had never heard of Cirque Du Soleil when I saw this show...but I was in awe.

Afterwards, I bought this soundtrack. Sometimes the vocals from Erik Karol are not all that wonderful...but the instrumentals are stirring. I can sit and listen or dance around the room and I feel the emotion in the music. My personal favorites are Stella Errans, Ombra, Miracula Aeternitatis, Ballare, and Ninkou Latora.

Sometimes I'm not in the mood for it, but at times it can be beautiful and overall, amazing. This is creative, beautiful, colorful, and just gorgeous. I'd definitely recommend this, even if you haven't seen the show, because I didn't even remember what I'd seen by the time I bought this and it still holds a place in my heart.

Totally Amazed!!!.......2004-07-18

Let me just start off by saying that Dralion is the first CdS show I came across on Bravo. After seeing it for the first time, I couldn't wait for it to come on again!

Soon after seeing it yet again, I knew at that moment I had to get the DVD and the soundtrack. I have acquired both, and I think the CD is amazing! I was immediately blown away by Erik Karol's vocals once I heard the soundtrack. I'd have to choose "Stella Errans" and "Kamande" to be my favorite songs on the soundtrack. Although, I would have to give 5 stars to all of the songs on the soundtrack.

The music from Dralion is probably the best music I have heard from CdS. Again, I was blown away by the music on the Dralion soundtrack and recommend it for all Cirque fans out there!

This isn't the whole show..........2004-05-08

The reason I bought this CD was because I wanted the music from Victor Kee's Juggling act from the show. It wasn't on the cd. I was disappointed. The rest of the cd is okay, but it didn't have the song I wanted.

Lovely!.......2004-01-02

I bought this after seeing the show, and I am very impressed. Violaine Corradi (Who also composed VAREKAI) has brought music from around the world together in this spectacular work. Whether you have seen the show or not, this album is great.
NOTE: You might be a little shocked at the gender-bending vocal performance by counter-tenor Erik Karol, but it sounds great.

Good music, extraordinarily performed.......2003-08-19

I almost don't have words for how good this CD is. It's an eclectic blend of music from all over the world. For example, Celtic, African, and Japanese influences can be heard in "Kamande", while "Aborigines Jam" is inspired by tribal music. I know it sounds odd, but the composer manages to bring everything together in a way that is always harmonious, never jarring. The music on its own is very good, but what makes this disc stellar is the performance of singer Erik Karol, whose sensual, moving voice goes from bass all the way to countertenor. His middle range is decent, his lower range quite good and his upper range is simply phenomenal. "Stella Errans" is possibly some of the best countertenor work I've ever heard; it brought tears to my eyes. "Bellare", on which he sings tenor, and "Miracula Aeternetatis", on which he sings bass, are both almost as good.
Trust me, you won't regret buying this CD. And if that's not good enough, trust my friends -- at least six people have tried to swipe this CD from me!
