Like the music, I listened to it.

John Williams is a prodigy and one of the world's best, but I think there's times he doesn't capture the true feel of Venezuelan music. I favor the tracks where he's accompanied on cuatro by Alfonso Montes. Alirio Diaz back in 1967-1970 is still my favorite - amazing. Alirio Diaz is Venezuelan and was in the company of Antonio Lauro, Vicente Sojo, etc. during that particular guitar renaissance. Of course I like my guitar teacher, Ignacio Ornes, an actual student of Antonio Lauro, as well as Luis Zea, Luis Quintero, Ruben Riera, Iliana Matos among others. You either have that "Sazon Venezolano" or you don't.

First of all, I love guitar music, especially classical. But from Bach and Vivaldi through all the genres in which he played, you cannot do better than John Williams. Certainly he has some peers but no one is better. That said, the south American ethnic music he has done on this album is so lively and satisfyingly entertaining you will want to get up and dance. But you'd better be nimble; some of these rhythms are complex!-D

I was born in Venezuelan and studied classical guitar there, so I used ot attend classical guitar concerts by the local concert players. Also, my uncle was a luthier and bult classical guitars in Venezuela, so he was frequently visited by the top Venezuelan classical guitar players who would often offer us short private concerts, and I can assure that John Williams plays the Venezuelan music contained in this reccording with the truest wholesome feeling and tempo proper to Venezuelan guitar music, besides the fact of dominating an exquisite player technique.

What an explosion of rhythm. The arrangements for the guitar are impeccable. At times it seems it is a harp that is being played (harp is the typical instrument used to play this music in Venezuela and Colombia). John Williams sounds like he was born in South America and has the soul of a "llanero" inside him!! Wonderful. One of my favorite CDs of all time.

Beautiful music played by John Williams who is really brilliant and has a great feel and understanding of Venezuelan guitar playing.

I ordered this CD a few days ago and received it yesterday. Have been playing it almost non-stop ever since. It contains a few melodies that I'd heard before, but most are new to me. Everything about this album--selection, arrangements, and performance--is wonderful. Wonderful!

GOOD WINE NEEDS NO
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 8, 2015
It has been a long time ago since I bought a John Williams CD. His diablo suelto CD indicated a number of Venezuelan pieces which interested me more particulary because I did not hear them being played by any other guitarist so far.
Most of the Sojo and Lauro pieces on this CD were already known to me, but the CD offers a lot of other pieces from Venezuelan composers to make it a valuable contribution to one's guitar music collection.
As to John Williams his performing : GOOD WINE NEEDS NO BUSH

Ca nous change des grands classiques de la guitare...
Reviewed in France on April 4, 2012
A mon grand regret, la guitare classique est bien souvent oubliée et méconnue alors qu'elle possède un répertoire très étendu. Sortir des grandes œuvres bien souvent rabâchées (et parfois très mal interprétées) est rare. La musique traditionnelle sud-américaine est certainement le genre musical qui donne la plus grande place à cet instrument polyphonique par excellence. John Williams interprète ici brillamment cette musique simple et agréable à écouter et pourtant parfois complexe techniquement. Un achat à conseiller pour se faire du bien aux oreilles.

これまで様々な音楽、特にクラシック音楽を中心に聴いてきましたが、初めてこの音楽にめぐり逢えました。El Diablo Sueltoとは、1888年に作曲された「自由な悪魔」と言うタイトルのベネズエラのフォークソングだそうです。そのような一連の曲を、ギタリストのジョンウイリアムスが弾いて一枚のCDにまとめたものです。
ジャンル分けからすればクラシックではなく、普段バッハ、ベートーヴェンやショパンに慣れ親しんだ方にはかなり違和感があるかもしれません。でも、たとえばショパンが自分の慣れ親しんだマズルカをあのような芸術にしたように、ジャンルは違うかもしれませんが、ベネズエラの人々が口ずさんだ曲を芸術としか言いようがないギター楽曲に仕上げています。
ジョンウイリアムスの演奏は、ピアノで言えば全盛期のホロヴィッツ、あるいは現代のキーシンに相当するのでしょうか。現代最高のギタリストがベネズエラの人々にかわって世界に向けて歌っている、そんなふうに感じられるCDです。全ての音楽ファンにお勧めします。
