5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album, April 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Carulli: Guitar Sonatas Op. 21, Nos. 1-3 & Op. 5 (Audio CD)

Contrary to what another reviewer said, this is a great album. The sound of the guitar is rich and warm, one of the most pleasing timbres I have ever heard. I have been a classical musician for over 30 years, and this is the best and most musical guitar sonatas I have ever heard. It contains subtle and expressive phrasing that makes me want to cry and some surprising virtuosic passages. Richard Savino has earned my highest respect for playing with such refinement and poise. One must have this cd in order to have a well rounded musical library, you will not be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars SAVINO BRINGS THE MAGIC OF CARULLI BACK TO LIFE!, July 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Carulli: Guitar Sonatas Op. 21, Nos. 1-3 & Op. 5 (Audio CD)

Savino shows us once again why he is on top of the classical guitar world. He has a strong interpretation of music which makes Carulli's somewhat boring pieces suddenly become entertaining. This album reminds us of how great of a composer that Carulli really was. Savino shows that he is a gutsy player with flawless technique. This was proved to me by attending a concert of his where he put on an arpeggio show as he likes to do. Savino is one of the most underated guitarists of our time and in my opinion has the maturity and poise to be rated right up there with Segovia, Williams, and Bream. THIS ALBUM IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY GUITARIST!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent recording, October 20, 2010

I will agree with earlier posts (as these people can communicate musical phrasing better than I). The music is easy to listen to and the sound is great; not over-produced or over-gained as many recordings are. The music is approachable for most intermediate guitarists as well. This can be an excellent reference recording.
