Music Reviews of Siente: Night Songs from Around the WorldMusic Review: A great lullaby album Rating: 4 Stars
Siente is a thoughtful, internationally-oriented album of "night songs" from such varied cultures and countries as the Basque region of Spain, Ireland, Indonesia, Brazil, and the Sephardic tradition.
Musicianship is impeccable, with Hilary Field taking center stage on guitar and backed by violin, flute, accordion, mandolin, English horn, bass, and cello on various tracks. Like Mae Robertson, Patrice O'Neill has just the kind of warm, angelic voice required for the task, and her renderings of these musical selections from varying cultures are all believable, an accomplishment considering the wide variation in their backgrounds. Siente offers an interesting and engaging approach both to lullabies in world music and to classical music ensembles for children.
Music Review: Siente is sublime Rating: 5 Stars
The music on this CD is magic. Every song is enchanting and although I have played this CD at least a thousand times, I never cease to be captivated by its charm. I have one copy for daughter for her bed time and one for me to help me fall asleep. As a new mom this is number one on my gift giving list to other new parents!
