This review is from: The Music of Albeniz (Carlos Barbosa-Lima Guitar Editions) (Paperback)

Are Albenizs' works really this complicated, or are these just poorly arranged? I have not officialy played through all of the works contained in this book. But upon listening to the cd and visually following these songs I find myself unimpressed. The arrangements seem really awkward and complicated. This book also contains a solo version of each of these songs. But they are simply the easy versions, and do not offer much in the sound department. I would consider them useless. Also, one of the songs on the cd is not in the same order as the book. But I don't consider that a big problem. Are these some of the best of Albenizs' works? I don't think so. I would look elsewhere for Albeniz transcriptions.
