spain remembered - as the old saying goes{i may not know art but i know what i like}. i may not be an expert on spanish classical guitar music but this cd is excellent. track 5 disc 1 is 10 minutes of heaven.you may recognise it as the music from the film el cid.there are 1 or 2 tracks that dont quite hit the mark but mostly this is a fantastic compilation album and will satisfy most peoples needs. just relax with a bottle of rioja,turn off your phone and dont answer the door bell. you will be transported back to that little secret tapas bar that only you and your loved one know about. the sevilla feria 05 is where it takes us.
Excellent CD - But may only be suitable for the enthusiasts. - Those at The Only Album You ll Ever Need studios have really succeeded in putting together an excellent arrangement of 34 masterpieces for the classical guitar in The Only Guitar Album You ll Ever Need. It is true that classical guitar playing attracts only a limited range of people, but even if you only mildly enjoy or are the slightest bit interested in hearing works by famous guitar composers such as Rodrigo, Villa-Lobos or even Bach, then The Only Guitar Album You ll Ever Need won t fail to please you. I was content to see that the majority of the most famous guitar pieces were included here, including Concierto de Aranjeuz (if only the second movement) and Cavatina (this time played by Simon Dinnegan), as even if you already have these hits on your shelf, it is surprising and refreshing to see how incredibly different they can sound in the hands of the various artists and conductors presented here. The works are played by a range of different guitarists, including Bream, Williams and Dinnegan, and it is breathtaking to hear John Williams and Julian Bream battle it out in Falla s Spanish Dance No. 1 (from La Vida Breve). I don t have any criticisms of the collection put together on this two-hour plus double CD, or the quality of the recordings. Realistically with all the guitar material available it is not hard to put together an album of classical guitar successes- Miller s Dance by Falla leaves the listener energised whilst Rodrigo s Concierto de Aranjeuz will leave you deeply moved. It is satisfying to say that the collection offers a good concoction of material with a broad spectrum of guitar pieces. Still, if you aren t stirred at the sound of the words Concierto de Aranjeuz, and have little interest in guitar playing of the classical kind, maybe this isn t the CD for you.
