5.0 out of 5 stars Marvelous piece of music by one of the most virtuous player, May 28, 2001

This review is from: Guitarra Portuguesa (Audio CD)

This is a great CD, where you get to know some of the standards for Portuguese Guitar, as well as some great compositions by this great player. Pedro Caldeira Cabral is, after Carlos Paredes, the best Portuguese Guitar player of our times. It's a great experience for those music lovers who enjoy virtuous playing. It's a must.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peerless Portuguese guitarist, August 29, 2007

Berlioz "I Love Obscurities" (San Antonio, Texas USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Guitarra Portuguesa (Audio CD)

Cabral is the greatest living exponent of the Portuguese guitar. His own compositions -- many of which include uncharacteristic dissonances, harmonies and structures -- break new ground for the instrument. This CD is a studio recording and has better sound than the other available releases. His live performances on FMS and Netwerk are also worthwhile but are out of print, so grab them if you get a chance. Be advised, however, that a lot of the same pieces appear on all three CDs.
