5.0 out of 5 stars Very unique and very, very beautiful, February 7, 2008

This review is from: Sometime Ago (Audio CD)

One of my all-time favorite recordings, a desert isle CD. With transcriptions of music by Paul Simon, Chuck Corea, Keith Jarrett and Lou Harrison, you won't find this music anywhere else. I wish more players would try to expand the repertoire of the guitar as Barrueco has done here.

6 stars, highly recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars A classical guitarist who can play other music great!, August 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sometime Ago (Audio CD)

Manuel Barrueco is the best classical guitarist in the world today. He is technically superior and has created a gold standard with his recordings. Known as one of the few guitarists who can play an entire concert without a mistake, even with very difficult music, he maintains a strong lyrical sense and is simply a joy to listen to. In fact, you wonder if this is somehow contrived because it is SO GOOD, but if you have ever heard him in person, as I have, then you know that it is the way he plays. The excursion into music by Chick Corea and Paul Simon is very successful because he maintains his musicality while still being technically perfect. I have never heard a guitarist play better, including John Williams. They should lock him away like Glen Gould and let him record albums because they will still be the standard a thousand years from now!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent interpretation of Jazz into Guita tune, April 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sometime Ago (Audio CD)

I'm glad to be a first writer about this album. Barrueco is famous as an emperor of guitarists. His relieving and economic playing technique seems to make jazz what it is.

The Jarnet's Koln Concert is written for a piano, Manuel played a PtIIc by the guitar. In his playing I felt the things the piano can not express, but the guitar do. Of course Jarnet's piece is good, and Manuel's playing is another.

To Whomever loves jazz or guitar I recommend.
