Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

You probably need to be a real guitar enthusiast to want the two-CD collection The Spanish Guitar, but anyone who fears that at more than 140 minutes this Naxos set may be a few plucky numbers too many should swiftly be won over. Where the set scores is in some clever programming that never allows the ear to tire of a particular sound-world or even a particular style. After the longest piece of the set, Mompou's beautiful Suite Compostelana, an orchestra broadens the aural world with Peter Breiner's concerto based on Bizet's Carmen. Three pieces fulfil a similar function on the second disc. Some of the best known Spanish "guitar" music was written for piano--Granados' 12 Spanish Dances; here we get the first, in an arrangement for guitar and orchestra, and the famous fifth, which tops and tails the set with a guitar transcription as an opener and a guitar and piano version as a finale. In between you can find everything from foot-stomping flamenco to moody languorous pieces, played with great atmosphere by a fine line-up of soloists. Listeners in need of persuasion need look no further than Norbert Kraft's playing of Tárrega's celebrated Recuerdos de la Alhambra, a cracking piece, beautifully played. --Keith Clarke

5.0 out of 5 stars The Spanish Guitar, 20 Aug 2002
By Mr. K. Allman "grandieikichi" (Stafford, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although Rodrigo is probably the father of classical Spanish Guitar music this whole compilation brings forth lesser known names and compositions. To listen to with a bottle of wine and close ones eyes one can envisage those beautiful Spanish villages amid wondeful scenery.

Dance of the Miller and the orchestral version of Dance Espanola No. 5 are a special delight.

A must for lovers of this kind of music.
