Astree, 1993

Hesperion XX and others
This is a truly inspirational disc that features several different artists. I came across this disc years ago because of my interest in time period music performed by Jordi Savall and the lovely voice of Monteserrat Figueras in the group Hesperion XX. Both are featured ...

John Williams Spanish Guitar Music

Isaac Albeniz, Mateo Albeniz, ...

Sony, 1991

classical gems
A treat for the solo guitar enthusiast, this is a sparkling collection of Spanish classics, full of drama and passion, played to perfection by John Williams. His technique is dazzling, with a purity and clarity even in the fast and fiery parts, and never a squishy ...

Compendia, 1999

Juliian 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 ...

Spanish Guitar Favorites

Sony, 1990

A Great, Great Compilation!
All of the music on this disc was recorded for Columbia Records between 1964 and 1970 for release on three different LP albums. These are those albums (and I've had them all for 35 years): COLUMBIA RECORDS PRESENTS JOHN WILLIAMS (1964) VIRTUOSO MUSIC FOR GUITAR ...

Silver Nuggets & Fool's Gold

Isaac Albeniz, Mateo Albeniz, ...

Tritone Records, 1999

great variety, a true virtuoso
David Burgess is one of those artists that is a total gem to find. He doesn't have a "big name" or a huge recording contract, but when it comes down to what matters (namely playing well) he can totally deliver the goods. Not only is he technically amazing (I've seen ...

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). ...

Greatest Hits: Harpsichord

Mateo Albeniz, Anonymous, ...

Sony, 1995

"Best Harpsichord Recording"
I have always loved the sound of the Harpsichord and for many years hearing poorly recorded or played Harpsichord this treasure is a must have. From the fine compositions to the good sound quality this CD is definately a keeper. Plenty of music for a moderate price as ...

Favourite Spanish Encores

Isaac Albeniz, Mateo Albeniz, ...

Decca, 2001

Superb performances, superb sound quality
This is a wonderful CD! De Larrocha delivers some great performances of many well-known Spanish favourites, some of which you may recognise more by the sound than the title. The solo piano pieces include Albeniz' Sevilla:sevillanas, which I am sure you will recognise, ...

The World of the Harp

Isaac Albeniz, Mateo Albeniz, ...

Delos Records, 1992

Harp Purity
Harp and nothing but harp, played by a world-famous harpist Susann McDonald. Thirteen pieces are played on the concert harp, two on the Paraguayan harp ("La Guabina" and "Llanos"), and one on the Irish harp (though this is actually a 2-piece set "Believe Me If All ...

The Golden Age of Harpsichord Music

Mateo Albeniz, English Anonymous, ...

Philips, 1995

Puyana Plays to Perfection
Mr Puyana has a sink-your-teeth-into style of playing upon the harpsichord which I find immensely satisfying. He doesn't pussy-foot upon the keys, he attacks them with a flair and a finesse, appearing to thoroughly enjoy himself in the process. I can readily imagine ...

Alicia de Larrocha: Great Pianists 20th Century Vol. 1

Isaac Albeniz, Mateo Albeniz, ...

Decca, 1998

Fiery jewelry by the supreme Hispanic pianist.
When we approach the piano-sourced "poems" of Albeniz such as Iberia and Suites Espanolas it is worth remembering that no less a listener than Olivier Messiaen deemed them worthy of a place beside the "Sonatas of Beethoven and the Well Tempered Clavier of Bach." ...

Romance D'Amour

Isaac Albeniz, Mateo Albeniz, ...

Polygram Records, 1989

The Best Recording of Classical Spanish Guitar Music. Period
This recording easily deserves 6 stars. The world of the guitar simply has no equal to the mastery of Narciso Yepes. Yepes was a consummate technician and a knowledgeable interpreter of all musical idioms from the Middle Ages through to the height of the 20th ...

Classics for Kids

Daniel Domb, Mateo Albeniz, ...

Intersound Records, 1997

Several Short Familiar Pieces for Kids
My kids and I are teaching ourselves how to play these instruments and we are using these three CD's to hear how some short, familiar songs are *supposed* to sound. I did not like any of the selections on Disc 1, piano, but the other two discs had a lot of simple, ...
