Marc Anthony - Todo a Su Tiempo (CD)

All Music Guide

Though Anthony was by many standards an established presence in the field before the 1995 release of Todo a Su Tiempo, it was this record that announced the reign of the Anthony as the Crown Prince of Salsa. Previous projects had shown promise and abundant talent, but never before the level of polish, taste and confidence present here. His second album with producer Sergio George was certainly a step forward from their 1993 release of Otra Nota. Two years seems to have cleansed this creative duo of their desire for the emotive pop schmaltz that plagued their previous record. Free from these selfdestructive longings, George and Anthony set to crafting a crystalline, shimmering and yet warm contemporary Salsa sound that would set the bar for the decade. With musicians like bass player Ruben Rodriguez, percussionists Bobby Allende, Marc Quinones and Luis Quintero, trumpet player and arranger Angel Fernandez, and several other modern masters, this is one for the books, vocal performance no...twithstanding.
