5.0 out of 5 stars Ready for some Southern Exposure?, September 24, 1998
By A Customer
This is a beautiful work of art. I heard one of her tracks on the radio, and had to get this CD. Isbin proves that truly great music does not need lyrics to speak to you. There are so many subtle nuances to the composition- an unexpected note here, a syncopated rhythm there. "Julia Florida" is achingly beautiful. The South American flow keeps my fingers tapping. There is a Latin jazz influence that permeates throughout, perfectly belnding with her classical, intricate guitar style. If you're interested in classical guitar and enjoy a lot of jazz and rhythms, you should search out this CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Journey to the Amazon, March 12, 2000
By Michael Tanner (Santa Cruz, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sharon is a wonderful guitarist who has been concertizing since she was fourteen years old. She plays with technical mastery and feeling, but more importantly she takes risks and has not gone stale. A few of the more well known compositions hold up very well next to other versions of say, Segovia and Christopher Parkening. Why would you want to hear these recordings since other masters have already done them so splendidly? They haven't been done with Brazilian percussion and saxophone. The other reason to purchase this CD is because of the wonderful world premier of Thiago de Mello's compositions. Two for one: familiar Brazilian compositiona by Barrios et. al, with a little more "Brazilian" feel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond beautiful, a wonderful work, September 8, 2003
By guitar guru (Suburb in MA United States) - See all my reviews
This recording was one of my early exposures to Sharon Isbin on CD. I had the pleasure of experiencing her live performance prior to the purchase of this CD. As a fan of heavier guitar music, (i.e. Steve Vai and Eric Johnson), I never believed I would enjoy a classical guitarist. I was so completely moved by the performance Ms. Isbin gives on this CD, that I promptly purchased "Dreams of a World" and most recently "Baroque Favorites for Guitar". I highly recommend this CD if you want to hear a guitarist whose work defies traditional categorization. I give it 10 stars! Please try to see Ms. Isbin live in recital if she comes to your area; you will experience a remarkable performance.
