This review is from: Portrait of John Williams (Audio CD)

John Williams, well known by his beautyful performances on baroque and clasicist suites, mainly transcribed from luthe or mandolin scores, shows a superb behaviour in latin-american songs. The opening track, Antonio Lauro's Seis por Derecho (referring to the guitar six strings), is a marvel itself that's worth the price of the album. Not to mention Tárrega's Recuerdos de la Alhambra, with its moody tremolos... Modern composers, like cuban Leo Brouwer are also proudly performed here in Williams' hands and strings. A broad range style guitar album higly recommendable to students and classical guitar lovers.
