Alejandro Fernandez: Trayectoria Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
Since the videos are presented in production date order, you get to watch Alejandro go from a slightly geeky kid of 20 in "Brumas" to the very sexy 30-something he is in "Tantita Pena," which is the "production number" of this DVD as well as the most musically interesting song. "En el Jardin," the duet with Gloria Estefan, is very pretty with nature images and good close-ups. They sound wonderful together. The romantic scenes get progressively better as you go along; the ones after 1996 are truly marvelous. The kisses are hotter than entire love scenes in almost any U.S. production. Another extremely cool thing about these videos is that some of the women whom he makes love to in them are Televisa actresses; Joana Benedek, Katie Barbieri, and some of the women in "Hablame" are recognizable from novelas.
Also on the DVD are a discography, biographical information, and some behind-the-scenes footage. It is excellently produced with an easily navigable menu, and truly fine sound. It's a must-have for true romantics. And for the ladies: Be prepared to take a very cold shower after viewing this DVD and make sure your boyfriend never finds it.
