All the best song from Cirque du Soleil.......2007-02-19

You could listen to all the best songs from Cirque du Soleil! Even you never watch its shows, you will be attracted to buy the tickets once you listen it the songs!

Cirque as always.......2006-03-10

Cirque always has the most magnificent musicians. Always outstanding! This cd takes some of the best from different programs and combines them into one experiance. It is a great compilation that has been done in the wonderfully unique Cirque way!

Like a bowl of magical soup.......2005-12-25

This is NOT the full course dinner, but an opening course, a little tease for your taste buds, or in this case, your imagination. This is like magical soup where each spoonful is a different flavor and sometimes, well it is a combination of the otherworldly and the worldly. Sometimes it is just the right spice for that right moment. This is great music and deserves respect for the creativity that fueled its construction. Like any good chef, it is personal, quirky and eclectic. Enjoy! If you want the full course, go to a live production and be ready to be a glutton.

Not exactly "Le Best".......2005-12-06

I was going to give this 4 and a half stars, but I can't. Literally. Anyway, there are some great tracks on this CD. Even Alegria, where the singer sounded like she lost her voice. Some of the songs are on my iPod right now. But I wish they put more. This isn't enough. Do you have how much music you can load on a CD? Come on, Cirque, add more!

Absolutely Breathtaking Music.......2005-10-05

I didn't buy this cd off of Amazon, at a Borders Store actually. But anyway this cd is absolutely amazing with a 14 selection of absolutely breathtaking performances and compositions from the world renowned Performance Show known as Cirque Du Soleil. With spellbounding varieties of music on this cd from the show. It's an absolutely worthy CD to buy. Hands down--you'll love it! Just buy it and hear it for yourself!

WOW - WHAT A MISTAKE.......2006-10-05

I BOUGHT THIS THINKING IT WAS A VEAL RECIPE. OOPS.

Unbelievable!.......2005-05-28

You haven't seen circs until you get to know Cirque Du Soleil. Once you see their shows and let your mind walk through those acts with the beautiful music and awesome performance of their musicians, you'll understand the many people that have fallen already in this charm. Please try to see them at least once in life.
I went to Paris for a honeymoon with my wife. Cirque du Soleil made it even better than we thought if would be.

A Masterpiece!.......2002-08-16

Saltimbanco was the first show by Cirque Du Soleil that I ever saw, and I loved the music as much as the acts. If you ever get a chance to see it, or any Cirque show for that matter, GO SEE IT!

Personally, my favorite songs on this CD are Kaze, Saltimbanco, Kumbalawe, and Norweg

A Pleasing Array of Fine Music.......2002-03-25

Saltimbanco is one of the first Cirque du Soleil CDs I ever owned. It is also one of my favorites! I use it for dance, aerobics, and just for plain relaxing. It's an excellent collection of 'jungle-like' sounding music! I love the birds in the background of Norweg and the drums and bottle music sounds are extremely unique.
The only two songs on the CD I did not like were Amazonia and Saltimbanco itself! They were long, loud, and repetitious.
However, an especial favorite next to Pokinoi, Norweg, and Kumbalawe is Rideau! It is incredibly out of place amidst the 'South American jungle' on the CD but the piano music and 'clown talk' always grabs my attention.
If you are new to the 'Cirque du Soleil' craze and looking for a CD to start off your 'Cirque' collection-I would highly recommend Saltimbanco. It gives you a lasting taste of their many flavors of different kinds of music!

Saltimbanco.......2000-11-29

Try to see the live show or buy the video tape from the Treasure Island hotel in Las Vegas! I bought the video quite a few years ago and finally they came to town last summer. It was a great treat!

Good but not great, slightly bland.......2007-01-10

I have Mystere, this CD is not quite as good for just listening

Saltimbanco--Tres Magnifique!.......2005-10-26

This re-release of Saltimbanco is just what the doctor ordered! With some new arrangements, and two completely new tracks, this re-release fulfils the wants of all of the die-hard fans of Cirque Du Soleil. Adagio has beautiful parts that were severely missed on the first release of the album, and Cantus-Melopee is a nice new track. Now the CD has almost all of the music from the show! Nice job!

I CANT WAIT 2 SEE IT LIVE!!!!!!.......2005-07-28

Music like this is hard to come by.......2002-10-29

I don't normally write reviews for CD's. I usually stick to books, however, I have to make an exception for Cirque Du Soliel.

My dance teacher had first used the song Mystere for one of her performances and ever since then, I have been hooked on their music. I'm sad to see Rene Dupere leave Cirque. In my opinion, and in the opinion of many other musicians and composers, Rene is one of the best living composers. This album is perhaps a collection of his greatest peices. It does have one piece from Benoit Jutras but in my opinion, it doesn't match quite the level that Rene's are at.

If you are interested in Cirque's music, I think this CD would be the way to go.

A good album.......2001-06-01

This is a good way to start your Cirque Du Soleil music collection. Although it has some old music, it is still a good album.

A smattering of Cirque.......2001-05-01

Cirque de Soleil's colelction is in affect a best of CD, but it is hardly that. Certainly the pieces on this disc are the most memorable of each show, they seem to lack something. this is because Cirque de Soleil is an experience, each song on an album influences another, they must be listened to in order to truly experience them. The songs on this album aren't bad, in fact, they are excellent, but they aren't quite as good as if one were to purchase the albums tehy are taken from and listen to the whole album from start to finish.

Cirque du Soleil ~ Fantastique, Mysterious, Addictive.... ~.......2000-11-18

I bought this CD just last night. When I was little, I remember seeing Le Cirque Reinvente on television. I loved it so - the music, the performances - but I didn't know it's name, what it was called. I forgot about it for a time, seeing snippets of it whenever I just barely caught the end credits while surfing the channels. Forgot about it again and then the yearning to hear that distant yet familiar music came back and I did some research, finally discovering what the show was after so many years: Cirque du Soleil! The rest is history - I got hooked instantly and this is my first CD of the music. I wanted to know what the music was like before I bought it so I listened to sound samples from Amazon of the CDs and then decided to buy Collection at my music store. I listened to it last night, am listening to it now as I write this and here are my detailed impressions... You put the CD in and relax... The first sounds are those of a solitary basoon over " Ouveture " from the excellent "Le Cirque Reinvente." The drums pick up and it turns into a majestic melody of strength, dignity, and lingering of what's to come; it gave me spine tingles the moment I heard it! " Egypte " begins, seducingly quiet and calm and working into the delvement of the Egyptian gods and goddesses that rule this mysterious ancient land. The main voice could be a goddess herself, her voice is sweet and clear as she sings the primary lyrics of the song coyly, sure of herself, gently.

"Kumbalawe" is very pretty, carefree and reminded me strangely of 'haps a family of lions relaxing in the grassy savannah awaiting sleep to overtake them underneath the midday sun. It was a very good piece but one though I didn't particularily care for though you might be a different case altogether. "Suite Chinoise" starts as if a theme for royalty and if that was Dupere's mark he DID hit it. Another spine-tingler that turns into a loving, warm melody. Falling rain, then, and a worn, wood flute resounds through the rain forest. All of it collides to form a lovely piece that envelopes so many grand emotions in but only 10 minutes of sheer joy. " Querer" is passionate and sounds to me as being a very nice love song though not in my tastes. "Entracte" I was doubtful at the beginning but it wouldn't let me not like it - it took my chin in it's hand and made me look at it long and clear, to listen to it just for a few seconds more And there it was. I heard the drums kick in and the amazing melody begin in full throttle, pulsing with fun and energy and good humour. You could almost see the act going on in the stage of your mind. "Pokinai" was undescribably gorgeous! It reminded me of a lady hanging on the trapeze with her legs in almost completely darkness as a curled up ball and then unfolding very beautifully, silver rain falling all around her. Slowly, she begins to move and discover hands and feet. That innocence and curiousity gives way slightly to her complete joy that she's ALIVE! Then a young man appears and she discovers young love, they doing various moves in the air.... These are the impressions I get when I listen to this song. "Alegria" was impressive music-wise as well as impressive in vocal. The main voice has a strong, sultry voice that seems to have every possible element in perfect feminity. Even though it probably wasn't meant as a love song, it comes across as such and I have no hesitation in saying it was a flawless piece that reminded me of tan-shaded shadows floating over two lovers... "Kalimando" starts camly with natural sounds taking the spotlight, birds singing, the light and gentle strains of water. It was a ground-centring piece after all the energy and fast-paced pieces before it. The lyrics almost seem to say in their foreign, mysterious tongue, " Time to rest." "Grosse Femme" was a lively melody that sounded a bit like a carousel-horse tune that if you play really loud *grin* it sounds as if you are truly on a merry-go-round at a circus during the night, the cool air swirling around you like mist...

So, in conclusion of my journey into Cirque du Soleil, I have gone into ectasy and back again. I have been happy, sad, nostalgic, dignified, mysterious, and a whole lot more in the expanse of this one CD. If that isn't magic, nothing is.

Correction.......1999-07-22

just wanted to fix a slip in my review- I said Kalandero is in Mystere- it is actually in Alegria. When I said Mystere I was thinking of the song Birimbau- both are track 3 on their respective CDs.
