Alejandro Fernandez: Trayectoria

This is a stellar collection of music videos, spanning Alejandro's career since he began recording. The seventeen videos are: "Brumas," "Piel de Ni'a," "A Pesar de Todo," "Como Quien Pierde Una Estrella," "La Mitad que Me Faltaba," "Nube Viajera," "Abrazame," "Si Tu Supieras," "En El Jardin," "No Se Olvidar," "Loco," "Nadie, Simplemente Nadie," "Quiereme," "Hablame," "Quisera," "Tantita Pena," "Si Tu No Vuelves."

These videos range from the romantic to the incredibly sad. Several require that you keep a box of tissues handy. Many of the images recall novela scenes (although Alejandro has never acted in one), with scenes of courtship, passion, loss, death, and suffering. The period-piece videos have interesting photographic effects, with the use of soft focus, sepia tones, spot colors, and composition that recalls an earlier time. Most, especially the later ones, have images of passion and romance to blow away the fainthearted and to make one's abuelita blush...Read more

This collection of videos has to be the most beautiful that I have ever seen. The other reviews already said it all, I just have to add that I had not seen any of Alejandro's videos prior to watching this, and I was STUNNED.

Not only is he beautiful to look at and listen to, but the cinematography on this is just gorgeous. Each video is filmed almost as if it were a mini art-house film, with the exception of the first ones (they look as if his father, Vicente, was behind the camera!)

And for Mr. Larsen from Norway that asked if any concert tapes or dvds were available, the answer is yes. I obtained 2 excellent concert tapes of Alejandro.....one is a concert in Santo Domingo.....the other from Viña del Mar in Chile......both show up occasionally on ebay. There also is a dvd/vcd of Alejandro and Vicente from 'Lazos Invencibles' concert in Ecuador. I also bought that one on ebay.....but that may be available elsewhere.

A friend of mine asked me if I could manage to obtain for her a video or DVD by this, to me, totally unknown singer. She had been to Mexico and heard him played everywhere, and later on she had seen him on the Christmas in Vienna concert with Placido Domingo,- shown also on Norwegian television because of Domingo.

I found this DVD in the Amazon list and ordered it. I watched it before handling it over to her, and was really surprised to discover both the really rare quality of the voice and the charisma. Actually, I watched it at least ten times!

I have since ordered several of his CD's, and I am just as impressed by them, although I do not understand Spanish, and do not really have any knowledge of this kind of traditional Mexican music. It's just so nice to discover a young man who sings beautifully without all the mannerisms of most modern popular stars. He is almost like Edith Piaf or Melina Mercouri,- I can understand what he is singing about without knowing the words! I...Read more
