I have to say this is one of my favorite CD's, and I don't even speak Spanish. Each song is beautifully orchestrated, and Luis Miguel sings with such warmth and confidence. In fact, his voice was the first thing I noticed, and this CD of ballads really highlight his talent. If you like to sit in front of your fireplace with the one you love, you can't go wrong with this one.

This great collection of ballads is the second in the "Romance" series, and is performed impeccably by Luis Miguel, who many consider to be the # 1 singer in Latin music today.

The arrangements are lush and lovely, though perhaps because of the absence of producer/arranger/pianist extraordinaire Bebu Silvetti, doesn't have quite the luster of the 1st and 3rd in the series, which he brought his distinctive magic to...nevertheless, it's a delight hearing these songs so beautifully done, some from years gone by like the incredibly melodic "Historia de un Amor". Other favorites include "Sin Ti", and "El Dia que me Quieras" which includes a nifty bandoneón solo (by Jorge Travisano).

I recommend getting this as part of the 3 disc set, "Todos los Romances". # 3, "Romances", is one of my top 10 favorite Latin music CDs, a classic I never tire of, and # 1 includes the amazing "Te Extraño"...each disc the perfect music for reverie and romance, and an example of that rare thing called "excellence".

It's easy to understand why this 2nd CD in his Bolero Triligy won Luis Miguel his 3rd Grammy in 1995 and assisted in his being named Best Latin Artist of the Year in 1995 by The World Music Association. His perfect voice alone would sell this album. . .but wait, feel the music (especially the bolero tunes), let the words of these romantic ballads fill your mind - causing your heart to sing - your lips will soon follow for who can resist this Latin King?

This marks the apex of Miguel's romance series, although "Romances" does have the best version of "Manha de Carnaval" ever recorded in any language for my money. I play this album frequently, and wore out one copy when it was released in '94. I came to Miguel late, as I do not speak Spanish (yet), but I've always fancied the well-wrought Latin ballad. This collection is surpassed by none, and will make even the most hardcore holdouts fans of the couple of mariachi classics featured herein. Miguel's version of "Delirio" is ecstatic, and if you want some sultry eye candy to gawk at, check out the video that accompanies it. Amor, amor, amor...

"Segundo Romance," the CD by Luis Miguel, is an excellent collection of Latin music. All the songs have Spanish lyrics. These songs are mellow, romantic ballads with a lush, classy orchestral backing. Luis Miguel performs each selection with a gentle, but smoldering, passion.

My favorite songs on this disc are "Sin ti," "La media vuelta," and "Delirio." This is a wonderful CD that should come with the following warning: It may cause listeners to start passionately kissing somebody!
