Very Highly Recommended

By A music fan on May 8, 2004

Format: Audio CD

I cannot recommend this retrospective of just a small amount of Yepes's work highly enough.

He was a consummate technician and a knowledgeable interpreter of all musical idioms from the Middle Ages through to the height of the 20th Century avant-garde. His playing was characterized by intelligence, sensibility, clarity, power, majesty, poetry, and a devilish ability to separate and sustain contrapuntal lines.

In this box of 5 CDs you will find the definitive performance of Rodrigo's now famous "Aranjuez" concerto (singlehandedly made famous by Yepes). There are also 2 CDs with rare concertos by Salvador Bacarisse, Antonio Ruiz-Pipo, and Maurice Ohana.

The other 3 CD's contain solo guitar works by Sanz, Mudarra, Narvaez, Soler, Sor, Albeniz, Granados, Tarrega, De Falla, Turina, Bacarisse, Rodrigo, Llobet, Pujol, Moreno Torroba, Montsalvatge, Ohana, and Ruiz-Pipo.

Every guitarist and every lover of the instrument should own this set. If it is not available, also refer to a similar box set with the ASIN number B00006L6RN or another B000026ZRL.

An indispensable part of any serious listener's collection!!

By Gerald Rains on July 9, 2011

Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase

Having played the classical guitar professionally, listening to Narciso Yepes always stirs conflicting emotions in me. Who was I to be paid money for playing recitals and concerti when someone could play the guitar like Yepes? For that matter who was anybody else to be paid money to be paid to play. Yepes was so far beyond anybody else that there is simply no comparison. He didn't have the publicity machine that his drastically inferior contemporary Andres Segovia did, but he made the guitar sound like nobody else could. Of course he was playing the guitar that he designed and had built so that he could get sounds from it that he couldn't out of other guitars. It isn't well known but he was a concert quality pianist and violinist as well as being a composer. But I stir from the path. If you collect CDs buy this one. Your collection will not be complete until you do. There are only a few such mandatory purchases. One is Rachmaninoff playing his four concerti and the Rhapsody. However there the sound there is poor while the performance is beyond belief. Here the sound is wonderful and the performance is also beyond belief. You'll probably duplicate the Rodrigo and a few short pieces but that's about all. The price at Amazon is ridiculously low. Buy it here (I did) unless you can find it somewhere else for less.

Excellent

By J. Evege on August 21, 2005

Format: Audio CD

The late Narciso Yepes is perhaps my favorite guitarist- Spanish or otherwse. With each of his recordings there is the sense of a madman, master, and poet at one with his instrument. I recently purchased "Guitarra espagnola" and have found endless enjoyment listening critically and as background while I work. This is the perfect "not background music" background music to play when you have guests. You and your guests will find yourself withdrawing from lively conversations to enjoy a poignant, sweet, or sinister moment with the music. This is a compilation of recordings from the past 20 to 30 years. The compositions span from the 17th to 20th century. The quality of the recordings is very good but at times varied. The availability of the compilation is very limited. Get it while you can! I also recommend Alirio Diaz and John Williams.

A great artist

By Garry Feeney on May 15, 2013

Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase

I was amused to read in some rag the other day that when DG recorded Milos it was the first time that the label had ever recorded a classical guitarist. Ah, how quickly we are forgotten and totally unreliable is the fourth estate. I am told that Segovia was critical of this man's playing and that doesn't surprise me because their approach to the music is very different. (Segovia fans may want to stop reading now).

I discovered Narciso Yepes many years ago when I purchased one of my favorite recordings: three guitar quintets by Boccherini with the Amadeus String Quartet. For me that is unsurpassed but I note that the Penguin CD Guide preferred Pepe Romero on Philips. I own both. Give me the Amadeus and Yepes any day.

Its all a matter of taste when it comes to musical performances I know, but with classical guitarists it seems even more exaggerated.

What recommend this set to most listeners is Yepes distinctive playing of composers like Sanz and Sor (his Sor is beautiful), Tarrega and De Falla (beautifully measured Danza del molinero that sustains repeated listening); and, some relative rarities such as Ruiz-Pipo's Tablas for guitar and orchestra or Ohana's Tiento.

The 5 CDs are beautifully recorded and at a bargain price.

A STAR FOR EACH STRING ON YEPES' GUITAR

By Nelson E. Donley on March 3, 2013

Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase

Narciso Yepes plays a very unique 10 string guitar which allows him a wider range of notes. The guitar also has a rich, somewhat more mellow tone than what you hear from 6 strings.

I will not compare Yepes to any of the other great guitarists. When you play at his level, it's a matter of taste. I will say that Yepes, Segovia and Parkening make up most of my extensive collection. I love each of them in a different way.

The reason I bought this CD set is simple. Yepes is THE great master of the 10 string guitar. This CD set contains ALL of the truly great guitar works. And the quality of sound is as good as it gets.

If I really like a CD, I make copies of all of my originals & only play the copies. This is one set that I REALLY like and have played each disk at least 3 times. You won't find my set selling on Ebay or Amazon while I'm still alive. This one is a keeper.
