The Segovia Collection, Vol. 5: Five Centuries of the Spanish Guitar

Gaspar Cassado, Oscar Espla, ...

Mca, 1991

5 centuries of Spanish guitar and 2 decades of Segovia...
Andrés Segovia never disappoints. His playing is impeccable and evokes emotions and feelings that others only seem able to touch upon. This CD spans a vast array of Spanish guitar music history, from the 16th century compositions by Luis Milán to the 20th century works ...

The Fabulous Victoria De Los Angeles

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Johann Christian Bach, ...

EMI Classics, 1994

Fabulous? Yes!!!
The album is a marvelous sampling of this great singer's artistry. Her performances of the French and Spanish composers are something special. The De Falla "Seven Popular Folksongs" are powerful, passionate; the last song, "Jota," raised the hair on the back of my ...

The Maiden and the Nightingale: Songs of Spain

Oscar Espla, Enrique Granados, ...

EMI Classics, 2004

Great, but...
Absolutely charming singing from one of the great sopranos of our time. Highly recommended, but beware: 9 of these items (2-6, 9-12) are duplicates from an earlier EMI release titled "On Wings of Song." I know it is hopeless to complain about these continuing rip-offs ...

Segovia: The Great Master

Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, John Dowland, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2004

Clear Recording
I recieved this Deutcshe Grammaphon CD for Christmas, and let me say I was impressed as much by Segovia still in his prime as I was the quality of the recording. Most of the pieces were recorded in the 1950's, however the quality of the recording would lead you to ...

Andrés Segovia: A Centenary Celebration

Isaac Albeniz, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Mca, 1994

I AGREE
Segovia was the greatest classical guitarist that ever lived and always WILL be the greatest that ever lived, for he was the ROCK on which the classical guitar was practically founded! These 3 CD's of his most treasured pieces cut straight through the heart with GREAT ...

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 ...

Benita Meshulam

Asv Living Era, 1998

MESHULAM'S MUSINGS ON MONTSALVATGE
Xavier Montsalvatge (1912-2002) is a Spanish composer of quite ingenious, whimsical, eclectic and attractive piano music (among a host of other works--- operas, ballets, concertos, chamber music--- all of which are relatively unknown in this country, and even more ...

Espla: Complete Works for Piano, Vol. 1
Oscar Espla, Pedro Carbone

Marco Polo, 1998

Guitar Sonatas

William Bardwell, Leo Brouwer, ...

Opera Tres, 1995

Very good solid performance
Ignacio Rodes' performance of these 4 guitar sonatas, three were premiers when this CD was released in 1993, are very good especially in the Ginastera but I did like Eduardo Fernandez's performance better because it was more dramatic. Unfortunately it is no longer ...

Classical Spanish Songs

Oscar Espla, Manuel de Falla, ...

Herald, 1996

A good recital marred by amateurish CD presentation
This recital was recorded 1995 at the University of Cambridge and covers a broad selection of Spanish vocal music from between the world wars. Although Granados and De Falla are fairly easy to find on disc the same cannot be said for the other composers most of whom ...
