 | The Ultimate Yma Sumac Collection [Read More ...]
Description: In 1950, at the dawn of an era of musical exotica (in which composers such as Esquivel, Martin Denny, and Les Baxter would test the limits of hi-fi strangeness), Yma Sumac entered the scene. She was a diva from the Andes with a four-vocal octave range, an unrelenting trill, and ... |

Review: I fail to grasp the point.........:.....and I have no earthly idea of how many stars to give. Miss Sumac passed away recently, God rest her soul. I researched her, and did her bio for an internet site. Apparently she had quite a following in the 50s, could put on a heck of a show... |

Review: Back again for seconds:I first purchased this album on a 10 inch 33 1/3 record back in the 1950's. I had forgotten all about her and her fantastic vocals until recently when I heard she had passed away. When I did a search for her on amazon I was happy to find that there was ... |

A NOVELTY:Yma Sumac's range is impressive but I find her music boring.
After listening to 2 or 3 songs----they all sound the same.
After the 4th it all sounds like noise to me.
I think of Sumac as a novelty.

Description: The most interesting aspect of this disk is that it shows how different Yma Sumac and her music were in front of an audienc rather than in a recording studio-not only is her singing different, but also so is the "sound" of her music. One clearly begins to understand the reason... |

Review: Excellent Album:Of all of Yma Sumac's albums, this is one of my all-time favorites. Being her first stereo album also helps, though the first Right Stuff CD reissues used the monophonic masters by mistake, which were recorded separately from the stereo ones. They are a bit differ... |
 | The Spell of Yma Sumac [Read More ...]
Review: A decent compiliation:This cd goes good with THE ULTIMATE YMA SUMAC Collection because if only overlaps on a few tracks. There are several selections from VOICE of XTABAY(well represented here). Even on the duplication, when hearing Yma Sumac it's barely noticable because so much... |

Review: Mystical, spell binding, relaxing and at the same time sturr:I first heard Ms Sumac in the 1950's. As a teen, I was interested in a vast variety of music most of which has long been forgotten. Not so with Ms. Sumac. While sitting in a gazebo over the lagoon here in Pohnpei, Fede... |

Review: Same songs different title....:Despite the beautiful, somewhat rare, cover photo, this unnecessary three CD set is nothing new. It is all of the same songs we all own already, complete with NO LINER notes, and no other photos. This company also sent no copies to Yma Sumac hersel... |
