Ethereal and Transcending

This album builds a tapestry of diversity, depth, and breadth that few artists can emote as Williams has. His love for the music of the guitar and willingness to lovingly and abundantly share it differentiates Williams as a unique spirit. Many of his contemporaries would do well to study at his feet and realize the exhilarating joy of performing for the sake of, and beauty of, the art as Williams freely and unpretentiously reveals. You will be lifted up to a rarely experienced aural realm by this masterpiece of passion, grace, joy, and love. Truly, this work is a genuine monument and praise to all who have contributed to Williams' transcendence to the consummate performer and artist he has become.

Truly one of the best...

I was originally turned on to John Williams a couple of years ago when I saw a television showing of one of his concerts. I then got on Amazon and ordered his "From the Jungles of Paraguay" CD, and just purchesed this CD recently. Though I've only had an interest in classical music for a short time, this has got to be one of the finest classical guitarists of our time. His technique and precision is flawless, as best displayed on track #5. His interpretation of track#19 is one of the prettiest I've ever heard. This is great music to read to, eat to, paint to, play along with( if you dare)...and nod off to. He has definitely gained a new fan.

Wonderful songs.

Williams is truly a talented musician, as is proved by this cd containing a wide selection of romantic, peaceful and relaxing tunes. Play it at any time of day.

Magnificent

I've heard John Williams, the guitarist, many times on public radio and finally purchased one of his CD's. This is one of the most beautiful recordings I've ever heard. Every selection is exquisite. My overall favorite would be "Cavatina from The Deer Hunter". You must get this CD!

"Mostly" Classic Williams

I hesitated to buy this CD because I have several other Williams CDs with many of the works featured on this one. However, I was too curious about the 3 new recordings. "Romanza", I'm afraid to say is not that interesting, although it's an ideal piece for beginning guitar students. Faure's Pavane and the arrangement of "El Condor Pasa," on the other hand, are fabulous. Williams' performance of Myers' Cavatina completely obliterates the notion that Williams plays with little emotion. Included are several other works that I consider among my favorites such as the exuberant "Sunburst," the passionate "Verano Porteno," the charming "Natalia," and the dreamy "Berceuse" (enough emotion there for ya?). I would have replaced some of the pieces for others that I believe are Williams classics. However, if you don't have a Williams CD and are curious, this CD and the Seville Concert CD would make a great introduction to a truly phenomenal musician.
