Although entitled "Guitar Masterpieces" the music is MOSTLY big band with some guitar lead. This CD does not feature the guitar. Very disappointing.....

Spanish Guitar Music

from: Sony

Release Date January 29, 2002
Gorgeous 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.

Art of Segovia

by: Andres Segovia

Release Date October 08, 2002
The rare moments of solace I find these days are usually in the company of Segovia, but considering that so much has been said about this guy in the last sixty years, it's hard to add anything else without sounding superfluous.

Classic Williams: Romance of the Guitar

from: Sony

Release Date May 02, 2000
Having listened to this CD I though it was outstanding. As a John William fan myself, I always find his technique absulutely brilliant and some of the tracks on there I haven't heard before, which is a bonus. I have quite a few CD's of him playing solo and together with Julian Bream. Also the group Sky he was with back in the early 1980's. This CD I have to say has got to be the best one yet in my collection of John Williams CD's.

I would recommend this CD to all John Williams fans. All so, this CD is genuine and is not a copy from the real thing, which is nice to know. So at least you know what you are buying is worth it's value for money.

It's a good CD for background soft music to enhance the atmosphere of the evening of romance. ... Read More:

Rodrigo: Concierto de Aranjuez; Fantasía para un Gentilhombre

from: Philips

Release Date May 10, 1994
Dear friends and lovers of Spanish guitar music. I just cannot comprehend how Maestro Pepe had the nerve to record another version of the "Concierto" after Paco's performance (Paco de Lucia, naturalmente), with Maestro Rodrigo still alive, present, whatching and listening.
How ungrateful, knowing the closeness between Rodrigo and Pepe!
Rodrigo has said it all: Paco's is the best interpretation of my concierto. Who needs anything more to say?

John Williams - The Seville Concert / John Williams, Paco Pena, Andres Segovia

from: Kultur Video

Release Date March 27, 2007
If you are a fan of classical guitar, this is a worthy purchase. However, if you have the VHS copy, do not bother with this DVD; this is one of the poorest transfers I've seen, considering that the source material was very well recorded and filmed, with Sony Classical's usual engineering standards. The sound is just ok, the picture is widescreen, but not anamorphic, and the colors are washed out. A disappointing rendering. Williams' performances, however, are exemplary. The Film Profile is an interesting and worthwhile inclusion, although this should have been a double-sided or two-disc set, instead of cramming a low-bandwidth version onto one.

Defined

by: Amici Forever

Release Date June 21, 2005
This is an average CD. I do not think it as good as the first. I am really not a fan of The Prayer sung by anyone.

You can bypass the loading of the software by holding down the shift key while the disc loads. Once it stops spinning, it will show up in media player or your other audio program. I am still working to get the software off of my computer, but at least it will not infect any of my other machines. Not that I will purchase any other of this type of disc, ever.

Los Romeros Anniversary Album

from: Decca Records

Release Date April 08, 2008
I own very good classical guitar CD collection. This record added some pieces like Rodrigo's "Concierto Andaluz" that are simply wonderful listening. The Romeros have a very well defined and clean style of playing . A nice addition to my collection.
