The best Albeniz on guitar, ever,
By Mike Shanahan (Honolulu, HI, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Albéniz: Echoes of Spain (Audio CD)
There is no better collection of Albeniz on guitar, and no better John Williams recording. Once you have heard his version of 'Granada,' no other recording in the usual key of E will suffice. He actually tuned his 5th string up from A to B -- suicide on your A string! -- to get a more resonate sound in his transcription. Williams's extrovert style works wonders with 'Cordoba' and 'Sevilla' as well. Given this classic mix of an extrovert guitarist and an extrovert composer, the closing rendition of the "Tango is D" is all the more magnificent. Never was Albeniz more reflective; never was Williams more reflective. Arguably the best guitar recording ever dedicated to a single composer, though a series of recent and brilliant recordings by David Russell (of Torroba, Barrios, etc.) make it hard to make such a blanket statement. Anyway: buy this recording!!!!!!!!!.

A Classic,
By "patcarle" (Garden City, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Albéniz: Echoes of Spain (Audio CD)
This is the album that got me hooked on Spanish guitar - first listening, then playing. From the heart-pounding Asturias to the bright Granada and sunny Cadiz, I love this album - and go back to it frequently.A "must have" for any fan of classical guitar.

Great Guitar,
By
This review is from: Albéniz: Echoes of Spain (Audio CD)
The guitar of John Williams, the music of Albeniz, the feel of Spain what more could you ask. This is a quality piece that is nice to the ears and senses. Well worth adding to your collection.
