 Rating:  - Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar MasterpiecesAlthough entitled "Guitar Masterpieces" the music is MOSTLY big band with some guitar lead. This CD does not feature the guitar. Very disappointing..... Rating:  - Most amazing, calming collection of classic guitar music around!This has been one of my favorite CD's for a long time. So much so, I bought a copy for my new boyfriend [I was afraid he might want to borrow my copy and not give it back ;-) ] And the most special little nugget on this CD is the Theme from the Deer Hunter.

Rating: - Excellent mix, good performancesWhile I always prefer CDs featuring a few composers, having a focus, this CD does a great job at going from all the medley of essential guitar pieces.

I got 2-1/2 hours of bliss for less than what I'd usually pay for one CD -- and you know how it is with music. You buy an album because of a song or two that you love, and you find that you like maybe half the songs on it. There's not a single selection in this one that I would've left out. It includes Joaquin Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez, performed by Pepe Romero on the guitar with the Acadamy of St. Martin in the Fields. I needed to replace my old LP recording of that. But I also get 30 other classical compositions and traditional Spanish pieces, each special in its own way. Have you ever heard music that you wanted to last forever, maybe even to dive inside and live there for a while, ... Read More: Rating:  - not what i expectedThis CD for me was a waste of money. Its just not what i thought it would be. Others may enjoy it but for me..it wasnt what i was hoping to hear. |
