 Rating: - pleasant, soothing, beatuifulGorgeous playing, excellent song selection... I listen to this while reading, or painting - it's great music for shutting down a "noisy" brain - very relaxing. Good quality sound, too. Lovely on rainy days, in winter with candles burning ... really adds to a contemplative (but not somber) ambience. Rating: - ~Spanish Guitar is relaxing~I l-o-v-e Spanish guitar music especially with music composed by, Isaac Albeniz. This cd by John Williams, is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l-l-y put together! It is so full of flavor, everything from the Classical down to Flamenco is on this cd. It is very relaxing as well as lively. I would & already have recommend this to people who are in love with the Spanish guitar. It's a perfect mood enhancer as well as a wonderful ambience to any backyard gathering with family & friends. For those of you who have been to Disneyland & dined at "Rancho del Zocalo" (in Frontierland) ... this cd is similar to the music you would enjoy while eating. Hopefully this will help you decide if this is something that you might enjoy ... Read More: Rating: - The Best Classical Guitarist in the WorldAll of the music on this disc was recorded for Columbia Records between 1964 and 1970 for release on four different LP albums. These are those albums (and I've had them all for 35 years): COLUMBIA RECORDS PRESENTS JOHN WILLIAMS (1964) VIRTUOSO MUSIC FOR GUITAR (1965) MORE VIRTUOSO MUSIC FOR GUITAR (1967) JOHN WILLIAMS PLAYS SPANISH MUSIC (1970) Fourteen of the first fifteen tracks here are from the 1970 LP and are presented in their original sequence. Track 6, "El Colibri" by Segreras, is not from that LP. It here replaces the proper sixth LP track, "Valses Poeticos" by Granados, which strangely has been omitted from this collection entirely. Otherwise, the album, certainly one of Williams's greatest, ... Read More: Rating: - Excellent Introduction to Spanish Classical Guitar MusicAs a sampler, this CD is an excellent introduction both to Spanish classical guitar music and to guitarist John Williams. The music ranges from Renaissance composers (Sanz, Mudarra) and harmonized folk melodies to standard 20th Century works (Rodrigo, Torroba etc). John Williams is excellent throughout. The CD is also cheap, and can be used either just for enjoyment, or further to explore other recordings by Williams, the classical guitar repertoire, or other classical guitarists. As a marketing ploy, it is very effective. For the collector or classical guitar enthusiast, the chief disadvantages of the CD are duplication of other recordings, and that the way at least some of the works on this CD are listed ... Read More: Rating: - The guitar is an orchestra in miniature!This admirable concept belongs to Hector Berlioz and it must not be a surprise the best guitarrists in the story have in common this trademark. John Williams has always known the delicate equilibrium between the expresiveness and the glamouer. His impresive technique however is not exposed as his prima edonna. He goes directly to the soul of the composer, melts in his spirit and let the music sharp the qith eloquent conviction the composer's demanded atmosphere. From Granados to Albeniz, from Rodrigo to Agustin Barrios - El indio Mangore -, from Moreno Torroba to Ponce , you will find the warmth, the passion and the Midas touch of this golden guitarrist. |
