a polished jewel Nov 20, 2000
By Alejandra Vernon
"artist & illustrator"
This is the 1st in the "Romances" series and is a fabulous, lush CD that shouldn't be missed. The arrangements by Bebu Silvetti are incredible...the crisp rhythm sections of "Inolvidable" and "Mucho Corazon", the smoothness of "La Barca" and "Contigo en la Distancia"...and Luis Miguel sings every song magnificently.Armando Manzanero's "Te Extraño" is sublime. It will make you weep for a lost love or one that has yet to arrive...It's truly one of the most moving, beautiful songs I've ever heard. It reaches that rare level called perfection. "Te extraño/ cuando camino, cuando lloro, cuando rio/ cuando el sol brilla, cuando hace mucho frío/ porque te siento como algo muy mío". The booklet is minimal. It does contain lyrics (though not order of play) and the total running time is 44:12. This also comes as part of a 3 disc set, "Todos los Romances". Though maybe not as extraordinary as the 3rd in the series, "Romances", which I would place top 10 in any CD collection, it comes pretty close, and if only for "Te Extraño", this one is a must to buy.

A romantic triumph Aug 19, 2001
By Michael J. Mazza
"Romance," by Luis Miguel, is a triumph of Latin music. These are romantic songs, accompanied by lush instrumentals, and performed with passion and tenderness by one of Latin music's great contemporary voices. The CD gets off to a strong and sweet start with "No Me Platiques Mas." Another favorite of mine off this disc is the playful "Mucho Corazon." Luis gives a particularly tender performance on "No se Tu." An essential disc for Luis Miguel fans and for Latin music fans in general, and a nice way to introduce newcomers to Latin music.

One Of The Greatest CD's Of All Time Nov 16, 2004
By ChuckDucky
This is Luis Miguel's breakthrough into romantic ballads and one of the best cd's you will own. It won't matter if you don't speak spanish because the music transcends language barriers.
Even though it is over ten years old now, the music does not sound dated as the arrangements are timeless.

I LOVE THIS CD! Apr 29, 2000
By Alain Brouillaud
I discovered Luis Miguel's "Romance" from my girlfriend. I speak very little Spanish, but I must tell you that I love every minute of it! This along with "Segundo Romance" is on high rotation - it will be so for a long time to come. The CD is full of romantic, passionate "boleros". The production and the musicians are the top of the line. The orchestration is fabulously arranged by Bebu Silvetti. There isn't a weak cut on the whole CD. I'm glad that there's great music coming out of Latin America other than Brazil. Viva Luis!
