Albeniz

The Most Relaxing Piano Album in the World...Ever!

Isaac Albeniz, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

EMI Classics, 2001

Beautiful piano music!
This is simply an exquisite collection of beautiful piano pieces. I am very satisfied with this purchase. I can read while listening to this music-call it background music...maybe, but even when you're doing something else-the music is there...it does not intrude, but ...

Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar Masterpieces

Essential Guitar: 34 Gtr Masterpieces

Decca, 2002

Two-and-a-half hours of bliss
This may be the best money I've ever spent. I got 2-1/2 hours of bliss for less than what I'd usually pay for one CD -- and you know how it is with music. You buy an album because of a song or two that you love, and you find that you like maybe half the songs on it. ...

Art of Segovia

Andres Segovia

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

Great Sound Quality; Great Value
The 24-bit remastering of these analog recordings from the 1950s and 60s is outstanding. Both disks are chock-full at almost 80 minutes each, and there are a good many songs you don't hear every day. Forty of the 41 tracks are solos, while a short Rodrigo orchestral ...

Spanish Guitar Music

Isaac Albeniz, Mateo Albeniz, ...

Sony, 2002

Excellent Introduction to Spanish Classical Guitar Music
As a sampler, this CD is an excellent introduction both to Spanish classical guitar music and to guitarist John Williams. The music ranges from Renaissance composers (Sanz, Mudarra) and harmonized folk melodies to standard 20th Century works (Rodrigo, Torroba etc). ...

Julian Bream Ultimate Guitar Collection

Mateo Albeniz, Francis Cutting, ...

RCA, 1999

One well worth the price of two
This two cd set is an odd juxtaposition. The first cd consists of a sampler of Bream's career output - but without (and I believe the omission is disgraceful) any acknowledgement of Bream's significant contribution toward the creation of a truly 20th century concert ...

The Ultimate Guitar Collection

Isaac Albeniz, Anonymous, ...

Sony, 2005

The Best Compilation of the Man on 2 Discs! Great Sound Quality Too!
The title very aptly describes this great classical guitar album showcasing some of the best ever works of John Williams on 2 discs. The track selections are great as they span the centuries from the Baroque greats of Bach and Vivaldi to the modern day composers such ...

Reflections of Spain: Spanish Favorites for Guitar

David Russell, Isaac Albeniz, ...

Telarc, 2002

The Best
This is the best Spanish guitar CDs that I have found. Even with "Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar Masterpieces" having more tracks and two CDs, this is better material. I am not saying that "33 Guitar Masterpiece" was bad, I actually rate it second. No need to skip ...

Classic Williams: Romance of the Guitar

Isaac Albeniz, Anonymous, ...

Sony, 2000

The Aranjuez Adagio is Perfection
The second movement adagio of the Aranjuez concert is one of my favourite pieces, a very difficult one to get right. I've listened to well over a dozen variations, the one on this CD, track 19, is an absolute gem. Just by itself is reason enough to own this CD. The ...

300 Years of Guitar Masterpieces

Isaac Albeniz, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Vox (Classical), 1992

Exquisite
I was browsing Amazon, shopping for gifts, and when I listened to the snippets of this, I couldn't resist ordering it for myself. It's a 3CD set of beautiful, varied music played by a brilliantly skilled and sensitive master. Barrueco has an extraordinary touch that ...

Granados: Spanish Dances

Enrique Granados, Alicia de Larrocha

RCA, 1995

The Queen of the Spanish piano does it again
What can be said of Ms. de Larrocha that hasn't been said already?She is so perfectly attuned with the Spanish idiom she makes most others look like pretenders and hopeless amatuers.This impeccable recording is another demonstration in how to play as the composer would ...

The Segovia Collection

Jascha Bernstein, Dionysio Aguado, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

beautiful selection of the decca segovia
there probably wasn't a classical guitarist alive in the 1950's and 60's who didn't know by heart all of segovia's decca albums and julian bream's spectacular recordings for rca and westminster. this set will be a stroll down memory lane for everyone with segovia ...

Christopher Parkening - The Great Recordings ~ By America's Preeminent Guitar Virtuoso

Johann Sebastian Bach, François Couperin, ...

EMI Classics, 1993

Simply Incredible
A friend recommended this CD set to me after I mentioned that I enjoyed classical music. I was blown away when I heard it--I had never heard anyone play guitar like this. Parkening's use of the guitar more closely resembles a harp or harpsicord, but not a ...
