4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful !!, December 19, 2005

This review is from: Bella: The Incomparable Artistry of Angel Romero (Audio CD)

I have many CDs of other classical guitarists like John William, Julian Bream, David Russel etc. I decided to try out Angel Romero's "Bella" and was simply awe struck. Every single track is exquisitely interpreted and played with such musicianship seldom found elsewhere. His phrasing and the tone of his sound is amazing. He uses a Daniel Friedrich guitar in this recording and the sound quality is top notch. This collection is dedicated to his parents and contains some of the most relaxing and beautiful guitar music you can find. The only reason why i gave four instead of five stars is because i was hoping for some fast tracks in the CD but other than that you will not regret it! Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Angel Romero is Aptly Named, December 27, 2006

Before my father died in November, he told me about the Romeros and how much he had loved listening to them on a PBS special a few years ago and how their guitar playing never left his heart. He said that they were a national treasure in Spain and that he had tried to find their CDs for years but couldn't find them. I found the CDs here at Amazon ten minutes later. He died before the CDs arrived, but I sat down with a bottle of claret and listened to them-- this is one of my favourites that I ordered. On here, Angel's music brought me to tears and then to my knees as I listened to him strum Beetoven's Adagio from Moonlight Sonata. To me, classical music is more lovely on guitar than it is on piano, probably because my father loved it and passed on his love, but it's also more relaxing. Guitar music becomes a seduction under Angel's mastery. Look at his CD picture-- Angel is a stud, a cabellero if there ever was one. His passion is conveyed through his music.

We played this CD and several others by the Romeros at my father's funeral and people stopped and paused and listened and smiled and commented on how lovely the music was. It's soothing without putting the listener to sleep. I had never appreciated classical music before and this CD has made me take a few lessons on guitar so I can understand it better and appeciate the artistry more.

For those of you who know Angel Romero and his family, this is a confirmation of their undebatable status as the first family of Spanish guitar. For those of you who do not, this is a good introduction to the best form of art of its kind.
