Editorial Reviews

Carlos Montoya has a legendary name in flamenco: his uncle Ramon was regarded as the foremost flamenco guitarist of his generation. Yet this namesake was a handicap early in the younger Montoya's career, one which he adroitly overcame. Performing real Andalusian flamenco on solo guitar, some of these gypsy tunes originated in the regions of Aragon and Linares while others reflect Moorish or even Cuban influence; some take on dance forms like the rumba or tango. Montoya performs passionately and persuasively. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Montoya recording, June 24, 2000

Classical Montoya recording. I still have a hard time believing it is just one person playing. If you have any interest in Flamenco guitar, at it's best, then you'll be delighted with this recording.

I was actually very lucky to have found this CD on ebay for 5.00 dollars. I cannot give it enough praise! It is spectacular, and truly Flamenco at its best!
