1.0 out of 5 stars Guitar Joke, June 5, 2011

This review is from: Anthology of Guitar Music: 500 Years of Guitar Composition [Box Set] (Audio CD)

The box title may sound appealing: 500 years of guitar compositions; in fact, an anthology like this could be the dream box not only for the guitar players but also for anyone who loves the guitar repertoire. Unfortunately, Kurt Schneeweiss perpetrates 7CDs (recorded with hall-like reverb) with "arrangements" or impressions on the traditional guitar literature along with modern and contemporary compositions (Schneeweiss' opus included); let's face it, the originals are far better than the Schneedeiss' "arrangements"; the other unbelievable fact is that all this rubbish is played (and recorded) on an out-of-tune guitar! Please,don't waste your money and time! Just forget it!

Well if you are a classical guitar student chances are every peice you have played is included in this set. the recording is very nice. the playing is alright. this guy plays kind of sketchy. he's definately no Andres Segovia or Manuel Barrueco, but he is pretty damn good.
