5.0 out of 5 stars Pure, pristine, inspired performance!, November 13, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Road to the Sun: Latin Romances for Guitar; Sharon Isbin (Audio CD)

If only we wrote as eloquently as Ms. Isbin performs! From the very first note, the listener's mesmerized by the strength and honesty of her virtuoso guitar. No need for embellishment here: she performs each classical piece faithfully -- and brilliantly -- from the heart!

5.0 out of 5 stars This CD's a Keeper!, July 9, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Road to the Sun: Latin Romances for Guitar; Sharon Isbin (Audio CD)

Whether you're already a Sharon Isbin fan, or haven't yet heard her play, if you don't own this CD you are missing an essential piece of your collection. Road to the Sun is one of the CDs most often in my player, and it makes a great accompaniment to Journey to the Amazon, another Isbin favorite.

5.0 out of 5 stars Isbin Is Great, October 17, 2000

Daniel G. Berk (West Bloomfield, Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Road to the Sun: Latin Romances for Guitar; Sharon Isbin (Audio CD)

These are excellent performances by Sharon Isbin of works from the guitar repertoire. Even if you have other recordings of some of these works, that should not deter you from acquiring this recording, for as Sharon Isbin performs them, you may find that you're hearing them again for the very first time.
