1.0 out of 5 stars Yuck, April 7, 2009

Paco de Lucía (as you no doubt know) is certainly the greatest flamenco guitarist of the last fifty years. The chance that he actually chose this mess to represent his career (as the title seems to imply) is nil.

Most of it is composed of a collection of Latin pot-boilers dating from the beginning of his career, when he didn't have any choice about what he recorded.

As for the other tunes: his biggest hit, the rumba "Entre dos aguas" from Fuente y caudal, would be better obtained by buying that album instead, or, if you want a career-spanning anthology, the eponymous Entre dos aguas, or Flamenco Virtuoso.

"Canción de amor" (from Zyryab), which is erroneously labelled "Mantilla de feria", isn't worth the bother.

AND the photo on the cover is back to front.

Forget this piece of trash.

3.0 out of 5 stars Paco's arrangement of traditional Spanish tunes, January 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Coleccion Mi Historia (Audio CD)

In too many notes to be described here, in Mi Historia Paco De Lucia shows us again how well he combines technique and expressiveness with tasteful composition and arrangement. The recording features many traditional Spanish tunes (as well as some of his own) but he presents them with great passion (which is his trademark!).
