Best of the best.......2004-03-14

There's something for every Tchaikovsky lover on this disc. From Swan Lake to Onegin, many of Tchaikovsky's most-known melodies are on this disc. I'd have preferred more than an excerpt of the first movement of Piano Concerto No. 1, but this disc is a great introduction to Tchaikovsky's works.

The classical heritage .......2006-04-16

The visible embellishment of this noble instrument was enriched still more by the Spanish composers, who following the traces of his contemporaries. In the case of Fernando Sor, Haydn was his musical guide, where as Aguado, could establish himself with major vehemence, due its particular style, based in the notable right-hand articulation, eschewed the classical patterns, being able to print his own music a flamboyant and refined character.

In the particular case of Fernando Sor, we have a wisdom blending of the counterpoint technique, an evocative mood from his own that, added the well known influence of the Italian composers (Domenico Cimarrosa and Giovanni Batista Pergolesi) and his beloved love for the Operatic genre, allowed him to enrich still more the lyrical possibilities of the guitar. Besides, unlike Nicolo Paganini, for instance fortunately did not transform the guitar in a simple device to show his overwhelming gifts. He used the guitar to play music, on the opposite approach of Paganini who used the music as mere device to play his instrument.

In the guitar genre there has not been most deserved and superb tribute to Mozart that this Variations Op. 9 based on a motive of The most famous Mozart ?s Magic Flute. Loaded of such imaginative freshness and enraptured inspiration you may notice that one of the Variations conserves an undeniable Italian flavor; this is one of the most beloved hidden treasures the guitar can offers us, which raise with special charm in the hands of this formidable soloist.

Aguado on the contrary acquired due his personal state of things, a notable adroitness who excelled by far, to Sor, so his musical approaches rode in opposite directions, trying to exploit at maximum levels the technical possibilities of the instrument.

Julian Bream makes a colossal tribute to both composers in this egregious and golden album.

Great performances of sublime music.......2001-11-27

This has to be one of the best albums of recent years.This disc contains perhaps the definitive versions of Barber's Adagio for Strings(L.A.Philharmonic under Bernstein)and Mahler's Adagietto from the 5th Symphony.Goren Sollscher does a great version of Rodrigo's Aranjuez Concerto(2nd movement).The Albinoni Adagio is also perfectly played.The Thomas Tallis Fantasia of Vaughan Williams is a remarkable work.The Elgar Elegy,Tchaikovsky's Serenade,and the orchestrated version of a Beethoven quartet are also great recordings.Duetsche Grammophone pulled out all the best from their catalogue to make this tremendous compilation.I'm surprised this disc hasn't received more attention.Oh well,a loss for those don't have it.I'm on my second copy.

This is a wonderful CD that moves the heart and soul. It can be used for deep healing and/or moving through painful emotional time in your life. Most of the selections are very up lifting to the heart and soul. The music selections are simple wonderful and speak to what is right and good about people. It is a great CD for Music Therapist or traditonal Counselors. I give it as a gift to friends and family members that I care about.

Bravissimo.......2002-09-17

The Katona brothers have enriched the recordings of classical guitar yet again with their outstanding performance of Rodrigo's "Concerto Madrigal" for two guitars. This CD possesses, frankly put, the most definitive and enjoyable rendition of Rodrigo's beautiful but underplayed double guitar concerto yet recorded. The Concerto Madrigal has been recorded by eminent guitarists in the past, including Williams/Bream and the talented Romeros, but never with so much passion, precision, and pure virtuosity- (which is likely one significant reason why this gorgeous work has been so underappreciated and underheard in the classical music world). The speed, technical prowess, and sheer musicality which the Katonas display in their performance is simply breathtaking- and finally do justice to a piece which should be more widely recognised as one of Rodrigo's great guitar works. Quick passages such as the "fandango" evoke the fire and passion of the Spanish bullfighter in the heat of the ring, while the slower movements such as the "Pastorcico" and the "Pastoral" are played with a quiet and gentleness which bring out all the delicate beauty, romance, and serenity that might accompany a slow afternoon stroll in the beautiful Alhambra gardens. To top it all off, the Katonas perform their own skilful transcriptions of lesser known Rodrigo pieces, as the heartstopping "Tonadilla," on their latest album. This CD has apparently already earned a well-deserved Gramophone "Top 10 CDs of the Month" award, and will one day become a legendary recording in the annals of guitar history, I have little doubt. Bravissimo, Katona brothers, for this wonderful CD. Truly great classical guitar players are still an unfortunate rarity, and it is only a shame that Rodrigo himself did not live long enough to hear the amazing Katonas play his fantastic "Concerto Madrigal" with the virtuostic brilliance, colour, and passion it truly deserves. Almost needless to say, for classical guitar and music lovers (especially those who love Spanish music), this CD is a definite "buy."

Okay.......2002-03-12

A Grammophone reviewer gave this album a rave review. I don't ordinarily agree with Gram. -- a reviewer was somewhat negative, for instance, on a Clara Schumann boxed set that I bought anyhow on the chance that it might be fine, since there was no other Clara Schumann available at the time. I thought the boxed set was wonderful. Here, I have to also disagree. Although this CD is okay -- the music is played competently -- it misses something important. From what the Gram. reviewer said, this is a unique experience to hear the Katona twins play in that special harmony you find in twins. I haven't heard that and so must listen to the CD more to detect any special harmonies. What I heard was a rather stiff performance, backed up by an orchestration that neither overwhelmed nor really coordinated with the soloists. The performance here is worth listening to, but on the other hand, it clearly lacks the charm, spirit and intimacy of the Romeros. Can't say that I'd recommend this album.

Clasicos de las Americas has Good Gottschalk.......2004-02-23

This six CD set has the Central and South American greats, but I prefer the North American who did some of his best composition South of the border. Louis-Moreau Gottschalk had the life of a modern day Rock Star. He is joined in this set by such prominent players as Heitor Villa-Lobos, George Gershwin, Augustin Barrios, and Carlos Guastavino. George Rabol is a favorite pianist.
