Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2007-05-13

As good or even better than the original LP. Definitely a nice addition to your collection.

5 out of 5 stars I can't wait!.......2007-01-02

I have been searching high and low for a CD of this renewed "album" (Sinfonias) by Waldo De Los Rios - and now I have found it - thanks to the reviews on Amazon! I would never have related it back to the old LP I wore out in the 1970s without the help of the other review-writers for this CD. One of my very fondest and happiest memories is lying on my bed as a teenager, on a summer afternoon, by an open window with the breeze blowing the curtains, listening to the Dvorak movements over and over and over again - actually weeping at times. These pieces (as Waldo does them) are definitely not for purists - I found that out when I lent my album to a friend, who completely snubbed it! But for me, they represent a time in my life when I was figuring out who I was, and how music played a part in that. Now I love all kinds of music, and I owe that in part to Waldo De Los Rios and this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Waldo de los Rios ~ Classics.......2006-08-13

I used to listen to Waldo del los Rios many years ago in South Africa and just loved it. I had it on 8 track tape which disappeared as technology improved. I have been looking in record stores in New Zealand for 13 years now and had the hope of finding it on CD one day. Finally, I found it on Amazon. I enjoy the two new tracks and the CD has brightened up my life again.

4 out of 5 stars Light classical music.......2006-06-30

I had heard this selection of music many years ago and loved the arrangement that Waldo does with the classics. I was delighted to see some new tracks on the CD that I had not heard before. This is very listenable music.

5 out of 5 stars Superb!.......2005-08-29

This is one of two Waldo CDs i bought. My father and I listened to it whan i was very young, and Waldos music brought my into the world of classical music.
I didnt think I would find Waldos music on CD, and was very pleased when I found it. And yes, when I turned on the stereo and started to listen...well....it was fantastic. Both a voyage into childhood remembrance :) as well as into Waldos special combination of classical and, for that time, modern music.
And now....I listen to it with my daughter.
