Editorial Reviews

Review

Music that is haunting in its beauty and depth. Highly recommended! --Ken Wilber

The recording is very good. No digital compression, no magic reverb, no tricks... just the stick, the box, the natural ambience of a guitar in a chamber of unknown dimensions, measured by light. --Lawrence Russell, CultureCourt.com

Product Description

After 22 releases and a stellar career enjoyed by few guitarists of our time, three-time Grammy nominee Ottmar Liebert has released his most daring and unadorned recording yet. This 13 song release, One Guitar is filled with gorgeous soulful performances and a palette full of intimate moods and lush landscapes. Recorded solo with no overdubs, Ottmar delivers his amazing guitar prowess. This 13 song release was ''70% improvised'' says Liebert, which contributes to more personal nature and intimate environment that takes the listener to a different place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ottmar Liebert - "One Guitar", December 4, 2006

I've been a fan of Ottmar Liebert since the early 90's. My family and I recenty saw him live in Portsmouth, NH where he performed much of the music on "One Guitar." While I've been disappointed in live perfomances compared to the studio version of a cut, this gentleman performed every piece BRILLIANTLY. It's truly astounding to listen to such beautiful music, and to watch the person creating the music make it look so utterly easy.

This is an enchanting album...classic flamenco performed by the world's finest flamenco player. As an interesting aside, Ottmat Liebert is also quite an accomplished photographer. He ran a slide show with a random selection of his vast library of photos at the concert. It came off beautifully. If you ever get the chance to see him perform live, GO! If not, this album is about as good as flamenco gets!

Cheers,

Jim

It is hard to believe that ~One Guitar~ is just so...1 guitar...played by one human being.

Some how it seems the music melds back onto and into itself, making it's own simple elegant Flamenco symphony. It is clean, clear, smooth and immaculate. I found it most beneficial to leave it playing 24 hours a day in my room, while traveling, to think and dream by...very luxurious and healing to the senses. I find Ottmar Liebert to be an Artist worthy of the highest praise. Salute Sir! Only one thing would be more of a privilege to listen to, and that would be ~One Guitar~ in live Concert!

5.0 out of 5 stars Music like no other, December 19, 2006

Every time I hear Ottmar's "One Guitar" it reaches me more deeply. This is not pop music that grabs you quickly and lets you go as fast. And though is the greatest of guitarists, the music flows like it comes as easily as breathing. This is music from his heart that goes into my heart and I long to hear it again and again. It's imposible to explain in words.. I'll never tire of it. It helps me feel.
