For all lovers of true Flamenco

By B.W on April 11, 2002

Format: Audio CD

With all the 'Neuvo Flamenco' and its accompaning popularity. It is nice (and a relief) I might add, to hear the flamenco guitar in its purist form. Not only does this cd contain Sabicas and Nino Ricardo. It also contains four very rare perfomances by Manolo de Huelva. Which are difficult to find anywhere. Also included are Melchor de Marchena performing six pieces. This is truly Pure Flamenco at its best.

RAW, hard core, Flamenco Guitar!!!

By A Customer on July 27, 1999

Format: Audio CD

If you are looking for something along the lines of Gypsy Soul (HIGHLY recommend it) or Gypsy Passion (also wonderful music), which I was, this most likely is not one for you.
This is R-A-W & hard core Flamenco guitar without much, if any, other vocal or instrumental accompaniment. I guess, the title says it all.
The masters can sure "pick'em".
I am warming up to it......slowly ;-).

This is where my flamenco journey began

By Hussam Al-Hertani on September 7, 2006

Format: Audio CD

Not only is this CD flamenco puro at its best, It almost defines flamenco puro. The performers are all famous (sabicas, nino ricardo, manolo de huelva and Melchor de Marchena). The performances are old (40-50 years +) and are true to the spirit of flamenco puro.

I listened to other flamenco guitar performances, but not until I listened to this CD several times did I fall in love with the flamenco guitar.

Excellent price, good performances, some track labeling issues

By George L. Chadderdon III on February 29, 2008

Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase

For the price, great for those interested in classic flamenco guitar. Sabicas, Nino Ricardo, and the others were true flamenco maestros.

Something I noticed, though, (which is not Amazon's fault, I think) but must be the record company's, is that the Sabicas tracks are probably mislabeled. Based on my understanding of the flamenco forms, the 'compases', the tracks are probably shown out of order. Listening to the pieces, the first track is an alegria, the second a buleria, the third a farruca, the fourth a zapateado (and I have a DVD where Sabicas is playing this and it is labeled as being a zapateado), and the fifth a taranta, so actual ordering of the tracks should probably read:

Alegrias 'Salero Gaditano' - Sabicas
Bulerias 'Con Un Clavel' - Sabicas
Farruca 'El Albacin' - Sabicas
Zapateado - Sabicas
Taranta 'Camino De Linares' - Sabicas

I think the ordering for the non-Sabicas tracks is okay.

Traditional flamenco guitar playing at its best

By New England Pat on July 12, 2010

Format: Audio CD

This CD offers flamenco toques played by four of the best guitarists who ever played the instrument. Sabicas and Nino Ricardo are the best known players here but Melchor de Marchena and Manolo de Huelva may be two of the best who ever accompanied the cante. Melchor's genius is well known but Manolo's playing is wonderful to hear. Though his playing isn't lyrical or as dynamic as Sabicas, Manolo was considered the best of his time. He didn't record often and indeed avoided recording his material as did many flamenco guitarists of that time. The CD's audio is very good and this collection is a treat for aficionados of the flamenco guitar.

Viva Flamenco!

By Margaret Yim on May 13, 2011

Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase

I love this CD and I'm so glad to have recordings by Sabicas, Nino Ricardo, Manolo de Huelva, and Melchor de Marchena. I'm very glad indeed, especially since all of these legendary artists of flamenco puro have been dead for several decades. This CD, "Masters of Flamenco Guitar" allows these artist's work to live on so that future generations can enjoy their gifts to the world.

I think this CD is easy to listen to, even if you're not a flamencologist or aficionado. The cante (singing) which can be hard to listen to if you're not into flamenco, is palatable even to the casual listener.

I think it is important to patronize the arts to keep them alive, so I recommend purchasing this CD. In fact, at $9.18 I might even purchase a 2nd CD as a back-up. Thank you, Amazon, for carrying this CD.

Hardcore

By Marvel Sparrow on December 1, 2012

Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase

I bought this set because I'm a big fan of Jesse Cook. What I quickly discovered was that most of these works, though they are complex and unique, just aren't good background music material. Jesse Cook actually has some circularity to his music, so that each song feels like a complete and satisfying piece of music. However, the songs in this set feel like jagged glass in a jar--they don't mesh with each other, and they don't express a complete musical thought. I found it very distracting to try to listen to it as I studied or read, so for me, it was a wasted purchase.

A must-have for afficionados of real Flamenco guitar.

By John on July 28, 2010

Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase

This CD consists of five tracks each from four different artists. The recordings are of impressive quality considering their ages! Going from one section to another is like a change in the seasons. The other artists might not match Sabicas' technical abilities (in terms of notes-per-second and finesse), but they make up for it with their own special qualities. Nino Ricardo's recordings are dripping with emotion and only a statue would be unable to feel it.

Note that Manolo de Huelva's tracks include palmas (clapping) and singing. Hard-core flamenco straight from Andalucia.

If I were to pick five tracks as my entire collection of Sabicas to have on a desert island, would I have picked these same five? Probably not, but I would have included #1 and #4. For more Sabicas try Flamenco On Fire and The Greatest Flamenco Guitarist.

But Melchor de Marchena! God rest His soul. I wish there were more recordings; I have played these precious five tracks a million times. How could such rambunctious talent die? Un saludo, Maestro!

Very good orchestra accompaniment

Fabulous classical guitar. Very good orchestra accompaniment.

A distinctness, a crispness, and a professionalism that makes this...

This is a lovely item, full of liveliness, flamboyance and above all precision. Every note, however fleeting, is precise, clear, just right. Read more

Good collection of real flamenco

All of the players are excellent guitarists . . . good selection of flamenco pieces, all of them a bit different from the others.

Masters of flaminco guitar

Not as good a sound quality as I expected. The music is unimpressive in variety. It sounds like artists showing their skills not making music.

Saw Flamenco recently in Spain!!

This music is mesmerizing and if you could see the dancing along with it, you would die!! This musical style is to die for.
