There are perhaps too many recordings available of the Rodrigo Concierto De Aranjuez as it has become the test of a virtuoso guitarist to give a fine performance. This recording compares with the best available. The technical ability and interpretation is excellent. Also the recorded balance between orchestra and guitar is very good.
This recording is worth purchasing just for the premier recording of the Stephen Goss Albeniz Concerto, a really splendid addition to the guitar concerto repertoire worthy of many future performances and recordings.
A superb interpretation of the solo Invocacion & Danza by Rodrigo concludes the CD.

I bought this CD on a friend's recommendation - and can only recommend it to you in the highest terms.
There are many recordings of Aranjuez, but this is one of the finest . It is full of zest, and life. Sparkling playing, clear rhythms and forward movement in the outer movements and soul seeking expression in the famous middle movement. I listen to it over and over. Wonderful !
The Albeniz Concerto is a beautiful piece too, particularly the lovely tune in the 3rd movement.
The solo pieces are beautifully played too with very clear voicing.
Congratulations to Xuefei for creating such beauty with her music.

Well we're off to a sparkling start with a fast tempo, a matter of perception? because John Williams plays the first mov. in the same time, the greater dynamics may give that feeling, like an excited child desperate to tell their story with the band as the closely following parent. The second mov. well its always the same with the 'Rodrigo', no matter how often you hear it it remains mezmorizing, very good English horn playing here. The third mov. (my fav.) has an old Spanish feel delicate contrasts between the orchestra and guitar and back and forth. Stephen Goss's 'Albeniz Concerto', now this *is* wonderful a fully fledged work full of obviously Spanish idioms of course being based on four pieces by Albeniz, but i distinctly heard some Rimski-Korsokov in there for a bar or two or did i? can't be a bad thing and he's sneeked in some interesting harmonies. This concerto deserves to be played and recorded by other guitarists, its that good, it can't be allowed the property of Fei alone. And now the box of jewels in this cask of treasure, the six solo pieces of the suite Espana Op.165. These are fantastic delicate and restrained, played as you might imagine Taregga would have played them with his friends in the back parlour. As with Fei's last CD the programme is beautifully balanced and not just a jig saw of pieces as is so often the case with guitar recordings, care and taste have been shown in the choice and order and what must be a very precious photo of the young Fei with Rodrigo completes the CD. with decent enough liner notes. Worth every penny for the last movement of the Rodrigo, and the Suite Espana and the Invocation and Dance you will have to discover for yourself. And i didn't even mention Maestro (Eiji) Oue, well led.
