This is a formidable collection of lullabies, spanning 500 years, 18 of them (from almost as many countries) in Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Catalan, English, and more, each one lovely, each one in its own idiom. Some are anonymous; others are by composers as different as Byrd, Mussorgsky, Milhaud, and Arvo Pärt. The disc shouldn't be listened to in one setting--no matter how interesting they are, they're still lullabies and can mellow the listener into torpor--but in three-or-so chunks, the contents are fascinating. Figueras can make her sound move from folk to classical, from a mother who is passionate about her child's safety to one who merely wants to entertain into slumber. The anonymous Greek lullaby (track 3) contains the oddest little vocal quirk--a whipping up of the tone at the close of some phrases--which only an artist like Figueras could pull off. And Savall and soloists accompany on various instruments--flute, harp, viols, etc.--with pianist Paul Badura-Skoda playing on three of the lullabies. The CD is a wonderful tour of the world through the centuries with only one subject in mind: sleep. And sleep is something, after all, that takes up a third of our lives. This CD keeps getting sweeter the more you listen. Recommended. --Robert Levine

An exquisite gem of a desert island CD.......2005-06-09

Every time I catch sight of a Vox Alia CD with its distinctive packaging I find resistance is futile and I end up buying it. This gorgeous collection of lullabies delivered much more than I had ever dreamt possible.

What gives this CD its magic is the fact that this is music making amongst friends and family. In fact the record label is Jordi Savall's own, Monserat Figueras is his wife, and Arianna Savall his daughter - so it really is an all family affair. The whole of Hesperion XXI play like they know each other intimately and we are just privileged eavesdroppers who were lucky enough to have overheard them. If some of the major record labels are increasingly marketing their music like MacDonalds hamburgers then this is like being invited to dine at a lovely family run Spanish restaurant. There is a heartwarming homeliness here the majors could never emulate in a hundred years. So it is entirely appropriate that this should be a collection of lullabies, for this is a celebration of family intimacy of the most deeply poetic and affectionate kind.

The selection of music might strike a casual listener as being unusual - exotic is a better term - yet they are all so instantly attractive that I think this would make a lovely gift (especially given the beautiful booklet that comes with it) to a child, a mother, a partner, a friend, a music lover; even people who know nothing about the composers here would surely be enchanted. I was particularly delighted by the reviewer who wrote that her daughter listened to this at night - oh, how fortunate it would be to grow up with music like this with its imaginatively chosen collection of music from so many countries and centuries - you would carry this music in your heart for the rest of your life! Amongst the songs is a Greek song, a Catalan song, a 16th century English song, a song by William Byrd, Max Reger, Moussorgsky as well as two by Arvo Part, both of which carry dedications to Monserat Figueras, Arianna and Jordi Savall (in the photograph reproductions of the first pages of the handwritten score Arvo Part has written in German 'gewidmet an...' if you were wondering where this info comes from).

Typical of the CD is how difficult it is to hold back a tear listening to Reger of all composers - I would have never thought it possible, especially when it would have been simply all too easy to choose some all to well known Schubert Lied, but here it is, they have picked Reger and it is PERFECT. Yet that is only one gem amongst so many more here. I am speechless, for this CD is indeed a rare treasure made for people who truly love beautiful music making - a CD to cherish and to weep for joy over.

I should add that as usual from Vox Alia the recorded sound is audiophile quality, and a notch above what you get from about 95% of record labels. In my opinion they even surpass some boutique audiophile labels like Linn, which is really saying something. So if you love to luxuriate in rich sound this will fit like a glove.

If you fall in love with this recording please, please may I suggest you BUY it for someone you love, rather than burning it, just as a way of saying 'thank you' to this family of musicians. This is a family run label rather than some huge impersonal coorporation and I have seen too many private boutique record firms go bust over the years, so please help ensure that these artists continue to make lovely recordings such as this one.

I am adding this CD to my desert island collection.

Sweeping, seductive, and superlative!.......2004-01-14

Figueras offers the listener a triumphant collection of evocative songs. Let's dispense with a possible concern. This CD is sub-titled "Lullabies". Anyone going to sleep listening to Figueras should see either a hearing or a brain specialist. While they may pacify children, adult listeners will be exhilarated by the sweeping range of her voice and exquisite presentation. Figueras' expressive style simply transcends descriptive praise. From soaring appeals to the heavens to quiet, soothing reassurances, she demonstrates the magnitude of her evocative skills. One can sense constrained passion in each song as she moves from one culture to another through the collection. That one of the pieces was commissioned for this collection is further proof of the extent she provides the listener - she's not confined to neither time nor place.

What is most clearly manifest in this musical anthology is Figueras' professionalism and her Catalan background. Unlike the operatic divas who have deigned to release popular renditions, she demonstrates how someone who truly understands the music of mountain villages or plains communities in any nation can elevate even the most "common" music. The selections range over five centuries or more, reinforcing the impression that nothing exceeds the capacity of her elegant voice to convey feeling to the enraptured listener. Each of us will likely settle on a favourite selection. Predictably, my own is a Catalan piece of an anonymous composer. Perhaps because the lullaby is in her native tongue, the richness of Figueras' rendition evokes intense emotional response. Would that i'd been born a Catalan!

Alia Vox was launched to give fresh impetus to the recordings of Figueras, her husband Jordi Savall and the groups they have created together. This CD will remain a testimony to their efforts to produce the highest quality discs. The sound is excellent, clearly imparting voice and background instruments alike. With 18 selections from a variety of eras and locations, the notes for this CD are extensive. The text of each tune is given in the original and seven other languages. Could scholarship and the universality of music be given finer endorsement? [stephen a. haines - Ottawa, Canada]

Mesmerizing music for the heart.......2003-10-18

Rarely has there been a more beautiful collection of lullabies than those presented in Ninna Nanna. Clearly a labour of love of Montserrat Figueras and her family, it brings together songs that mothers have been singing to their infants over the centuries - whatever their culture or language. "It is like food for the young child" reflects Montserrat Figueras in her dedication, the most intense reflection of affection and tenderness.

Lullabies in this collection, come from cultural backgrounds as diverse as Russia, Morocco, Greece, England and, of course, the Iberian Peninsula. They span from the Renaissance to contemporary music. Most of the musical versions have been masterly arranged by Jordi Savall, suited to fit the extraordinary voice of his wife. We also find some arrangements by well-known composers such as Moussorgski, Reger or de Falla.

Being lullabies, the songs show similarities: above all their tunes are beautifully soft and melodious. Yet, the tunes show considerable diversity in rhythm and tonality. Some are melancholy and almost haunting, others joyful and jubilant. Montserrat Figueras' voice is, as always, in a class of her own, radiating with richness and intensity. The music touches the deeper cords in the listener's consciousness. Her voice is superbly and sensitively accompanied by Hesperion XXI, the accomplished team of musicians under the leadership of Jordi Savall.

The informative booklet accompanying the CD is well presented and includes the songs' texts in eight languages, including the original. This is a CD you will not get tired to listen to many times, whether you play it for your children, your family and friends, or just for yourself. [Friederike Knabe, Ottawa, Canada]

La Ninna Nanna.......2003-08-17

Very few times in life we can be transported back to share such deep experiences as that of holding a child in your arms while singing a lullaby. This CD is exceptional not only because of the high quality of the production but also by the deep emotions that each song carries. A true gift for all those of us that need to stop and enjoy a moment of peace!

"Stunningly beautiful" is an understatement.......2003-05-31

I bought this as a gift for our daughter, and it works great; but I also can't stop listening to it myself day and night, having nothing to do with her bedtime and nap times. If one wants to go to sleep, it works beautifully for that; or if one wants to stay up and pay attention to every wonderful nuance, it also works for that. Or if it's just on as background music, it changes any room to a place of comfort and home. Montserrat Figueras here sings in at least twelve different languages, in music spanning 500 years, and puts it all across with heartfelt directness. What more difficult musical task could there be than all the above, together? But she does it.

This disc is really a family affair: Figueras and Savall, plus their daughter who also sings and plays, and their son who took the photos; plus their friends and colleagues, among the most imaginative and soulful players alive. Extraordinary. And the new music composed by Arvo Part for this album: it's proof that music can objectively make a person weep.

And the booklet: a gorgeous presentation with full background information, photos of the sessions, and each song is given in translation to eight or nine languages! (The original, plus eight more translations if different.)

The only thing you can't do is play this in the car, while driving around to lull the child with the motion. Oh, that works great for the child, but it's the driver's concentration we should be worried about. There is no way to keep one's mind safely on the road while this CD is on.

I rarely give a "five star" rating to anything, but this is one of those times.

Customer Reviews:

Little By Little.......2006-10-27

Little by little is the best song on the album and a good choice for a single. It is up there with Don't Look Back In Anger in my opinion of best Oasis songs. This also features Noel on vocals. This is accompanied by She Is Love as a double A-side single. But the real reason to buy this if you already own the album, is for the studio version of My Generation, a cover of the classic Who song which Oasis regularly closes its concerts with. They have always kept true to the original on any song they cover and this is no different - it ROCKS!!!

Great Single.......2004-04-14

Heathan Chemistry was a great album by Oasis. This third single of the album is another great Oasis song.

Little by Little is a fantastic song. It's one of the top 5 songs off the Heathan Chemistry album and I'd put it their top 20 songs they've ever done. Noel once again puts a lot of emotion and feeling into the song. This is also one of the songs that Noel sings.

She is Love is another good song. I believe Noel wrote this one for his girlfriend, but I'm not 100% sure. If you'd listen to the lyrics it sure does sound like it. Noel also sings this one.

My Generation is a great cover. It's equal to the version sung by The Who. Oasis played this one a lot on their last tour and this is the only place to get it.

This single isn't a required one to get. I have it because I'm obsessed with this band and I think they are the greatest. Unless you collect Oasis like I do there really isn't a reason to pick this album up unless you want My Generation that bad. Go get Heathan Chemistry and enjoy all the songs off it.

really beautiful tunes.......2003-01-05

Little By Little is a song written and performed by Noel Gallagher. It has a beautiful chord arrangement, nice singing style by Noel, and a gorgeous chorus that elevates the entire song into a brilliant rock n roll anthem. Possibly one of Oasis' best songs in the past three years.

She Is Love is another Noel song. This one is a dreamy love song with amazing lyrics and handclaps that come on near the end of the song giving it an edgy feel.

Two beautiful Oasis songs released as A-sides. What more do you ask for?

If you enjoy this, i recommend you purchasing Heathen Chemistry.

The Genius of Noel Gallagher.......2002-12-24

With this single, Noel Gallagher continues to prove he's one of the best songwriters around today. "She Is Love" and "Little By Little" are both great melodies that also show what an undreratted singer he is as well, since he takes the lead from little brother Liam, which gives the songs a more personal feel. The cover of the Who's "My Generation" continues an Oasis trend of never wasting a B-Side, and really makes one wonder why the band isn't bigger here in the U. S.

Third Single off of "Heathen Chemistry" is Just Average.......2002-11-15

After the terrific singles "The Hindu Times" and "Stop Crying Your Heart Out", Oasis really makes a curious choice for its third single of the "Heathen Chemistry" album. This is a so-called "double A-sided" single, with "Little by Little" and "She is Love" being the "double As".

Both "Little by Little" and "She is Love" are Noel-penned and sung, and are average MOR ballads, at best. A much better choice for single IMHO would have been "Born on a Different Cloud", one of the album's best songs (it also would be the first Liam-written song to chart on its own). The redeeming track on this single is Oasis' take on The Who's "My Generation", which has been part of Oasis' live set the past year.

For those that already have the album, no need to buy this single, unless you just can't live without having "My Generation". For those that don't have the album, don't buy this single but buy the album instead!

Instant Classic.......2002-03-04

The recordings on this CD were made by Norman Dayton in the Chicago of the early 60's. These are live performances,no overdubbing,the music exactly as it was played. Many of the cuts were recorded during performances in small clubs around Chicago,others in makeshift studios set up in basements or apartments.The sound quality is surprisingly good, the recording venues actually contributing to the raw feel of the tracks. The music is, without exception, excellent. Highlights include Dr. Isiah Ross' "Chicago Breakdown" and "V-8 Ford Blues" by James Cotton, joined by Paul Butterfield on harp and Elvin Bishop on National Resonator guitar. This CD documents the blues scene of this time and place uncluttered by the production and commericalization brought about soon after by the big record companies. Buy it and enjoy the beauty of it's simplicity and honesty.

Pretty much perfect..........2001-11-28

Recorded in basements, apartments, small clubs, and dingy recording studios, this CD sounds about as close to having the artists in your living room as you can get. The sound is clear and sharp, the performances are all masterpieces, all the songs are sung from the heart. The work by Maxwell Street Jimmy, the Reverend Robert Wilkins, and Little Brother Montgomery are standouts, but there is not a bad track here. As electrifying as acoustic music can be.
