5 out of 5 stars Excellent recording.......2007-05-12

If you are a fan of classical guitar than this is a must own set. I enjoy every moment.

5 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended!.......2006-12-23

I would recommend this CD to anyone who loves music--period! Christopher Parkening is unquestionably one of the greatest classical guitarists of all-time. He embodies personal excellence like no other and is a brilliant artist. This CD is a must-have for any classical enthusiast. My favorite pieces include: Tárrega's "Recuerdos de la Alhambra," "Romance," Bach's "Prelude No. 6," and Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez." There are other versions of these pieces as well, but I always prefer Parkening's renditions, as they are oh so extraordinary--especially the recording of Aranjuez!! Other guitarists never seem to capture the essence of Rodrigo's musical masterpiece (e.g., Göran Söllescher in "Mad About Guitars"). But Parkening did! And the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was a perfect accompaniment.

This CD is definitely worth buying. Included is a CD booklet, which illustrates the history of Parkening's illustrious career, interesting tidbits about all 25 recorded pieces, and several photos of his early life to his "breathtaking performance" at Rodrigo's 90th birthday celebration at the Royal Festival Hall in London, 1992.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2006-05-08

I am not going to go into great detail. I am working on a degree in classical guitar and I can say this is something to strive for. His musical interpretation of the peices represented here are some of the best I've heard. His tone,color, and phrasing is incredible.

5 out of 5 stars A gentleman musical agreement! .......2006-03-16

In guitar ` s playing there have been many renowned performers, gifted of exuberant technique. But curiously the Apollonian playing is not by itself strictly enough. The guitar is the instrument which is closer to heart as any other one. It demands from you passion and sentiment. There have been three well known guitarists, one of them from England and the other one from Spain and the third one from Japan whose sensibility was totally absent in their performances.

But fortunately for us, there have been notable interpreters that have been maintained a desired balance and contrast between brain and heart, achieving great distinction and total acknowledgement around the world. I would name seven primordial names along the instrument `s story. First of all: the mythic soloist Andres Segovia, Regino Sainz de la Maza, John Williams, Alirio Diaz, Manuel Berrueco, Siegfried Behrend and Christopher Parkening, among the most representative ones of a great list.

Christopher Parkening `s career has made a brilliant colorist, an impeccable and sensitive interpreter of this well reduced repertoire. His profound artistic conviction and convincing phrasing has been a perpetual motive of constant invitations and presentations around the world.

5 out of 5 stars Extreme virtuosity.......2005-09-25

CP has become my chief inspiration to improve as a classical guitarist. His performances here are, without exception, phenomenal. He makes the most difficult pieces sound effortless. I prefer CP over John Williams because, while Williams is also unquestionably a master, he sounds a bit robotic to me at times. CP, on the other hand, never sacrifices musicality to precision. He sublimely maintains both.

5 out of 5 stars Five star version!.......2007-01-21

I have bought some half dozen versions of the Rodrigo in my time and except for the Alirio Diaz performance (now, sadly, no longer available) I have always felt that something is missing. Pepe Romero, Angel Romero, Manuel Barrueco (bad recording: far too recessed!) John Williams, and others: none satisfied. But here I stumble upon a recording by an unknown (to me) guitarist and a little known orchestra -- and it is perfection. Beautiful playing, wonderful tone on the guitar, perfect balance with the orchestra (which I must say plays very well): this recording has it all. Finally a version of this great piece that doesn't make me want something more emotionally committed. Kraft is a great guitarist, and if you love this concerto -- don't go past this one in favour of a more famous name. This is the one you want!

5 out of 5 stars Fantasic.......2006-10-11

Having never heard this piece before today's broadcast on a local radio station, I can't vouch for the competing versions. But I have rarely heard any composition for classical guitar that is as compelling--or magnificent.

The Concierto de Aranjuez is so perfect, in fact, I ordered a copy the moment I got home. I look forward to many hours of happy driving with this new classical companion. I urge other classical guitar lovers to do the same. It's really extraordinary.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect, just perfect I tell you........2005-04-01

A beautiful collection of classical pieces. These perfect performances are incredible. I find it very impresive that Concierto de Aranjuez is played so well. It's a very difficult piece, trust me I have the music to it. Tracks 1 and 4 are my personal favorites. A must for any collector of any classical music and a great start for a collection. The concert is just wonderful.

5 out of 5 stars Classical Guitar for everyone.......2001-07-26

The rodrigo concierto is of course fantastic and immediately accesible. The great thing about this disk is that it also provides you with the chance to hear 2 other contemporary classical guitar concertos that are less frequently performed with similar styles by other masters of guitar writing. For [the money} you can't really go wrong. Also, anyone who likes the Miles Davis album "Sketches of Spain" owes it to themselves to hear the original composition the first track on that CD is based on. (The adagio. track 2) Again, ... what are you waiting for?

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding performance and recording.......2001-04-19

This is one of those Naxos recordings that measures up to - if not surpasses - competitor versions produced by the major labels. Canadian Norbert Kraft is an excellent guitarist and the fine recording captures his flawless performance. Add to that the wonderful support of the Northern Chamber Orchestra, which is perfectly balanced with the soloist, and you have a first rate disc.

Another big plus about this disc is that rather than pair Rodrigo's most famous work with his "Fantasia para une Gentilhombre", as is the norm and had been done countless times, Naxos gives us two other less frequently heard guitar concertos: those of Villa-Lobos and Castelnuovo-Tedesco. Both are wonderful works and are sure to please any fan of guitar music.

If you're in the market for a recording of Rodrigo's famous concerto, you can't go wrong with this recording.

1 out of 5 stars Factory error.......2006-12-31

I bought 2 copies of this set. Both were incorrectly pressed at the factory. The music was not classical. It was some kind of new age stuff. The number of tracks and their lengths were nowhere close to those listed on the album. Its probably a great set if you get the right music.

5 out of 5 stars The one-stop listen for guitar concertos.......2005-11-27

I was a bit hesitant about buying this because of the price, but after listening a few times and hearing the all-around excellent quality (compositions, performance, recording), I consider this the same type of bargain as when I had purchased the Beethoven Symphony cycle conducted by Herbert von Karajan (DG 29036).

These two cds also make for a good listening avenue for those who are interested in guitar but may be unfamiliar with "classical" music. In fact, it was Pat Metheny's "Secret Story" that inspired me to listen to music beyond "jazz" and become more receptive to orchestral music. And I view compositions, such as Ponce's "Concierto Del Sur", Villa-Lobos's "Concerto for Guitar and Small Orchestra" and Rodrigo's "Concierto De Aranjuez" as good second steps to the appreciation of guitar with orchestral music.

When I think about what attracts me to this music and the playing of John Williams, I think of two words: virtuosity and humility; the idea of being excellent as a guitar player, but aware of being part of an overarching theme of which he is only one out of many musicians who bring it to fruition.

4 out of 5 stars Valuable Collection.......2002-03-31

I wish NPR stations would play these and other great guitar music more than they do. Good thing it's available on CD. Starting off with Vivaldi's Concerto in D Major, I much prefer the recording on Williams' Seville Concert CD. The same goes for the Aranjuez Adagio. I also prefer Paco de Lucia's performance of the Aranjuez allegro movements. Aranjuez seems to just keep getting more legendary with each new recording from just about every guitar master. I like Rodrigo's "Fantasia" almost as much as Aranjuez, but I like Pepe Romero's version just as much or even a little more than Williams'. I'm not that crazy about the few Castelnuovo-Tedesco's compositions that I've heard, but I find that his concerto on this CD is exceptional, both in melody and theme development.

Vivaldi again starts off CD number 2 with a somewhat pleasant concerto. The Giuliani Concerto is an outstanding work that blends beautifully the classical orchestra and the guitar. Furthermore, the guitar comes through loud and clear, overcoming the usual problem of the orchestra drowning out the guitar. I'm not sure if the mike was placed at just the right position for the guitar or what. In any case, it sounds fabulous. I'm luke warm toward the Villa-Lobos Concerto but find the very beginning of the second movement mesmerizing. As with Castelnuovo-Tedesco, few pieces from Ponce inspire me; however, "Concierto del Sur" is a surprisingly captivating concerto with its lyrical qualities and dynamics. Moreover, the third movement ends with an exciting bang. This CD was well worth the price of a double CD collection.

5 out of 5 stars Extremely Pleasant........2001-03-08

You can't go wrong with this double disc set. John Williams is among the finest living classical guitar virtuosi today. His harmonics are similar to that of the great Christopher Parkening, and his style of playing is clearly influenced by Andres Sergovia. Then again, who hasn't Sergovia influenced? Buy it.

    4 out of 5 stars Beautiful Guitar.......2000-12-09

    Of the million-or-so recordings of the Vivaldi Lute (Guitar) Concerto, this is perhaps the best. Fernandez is an artist of true soul with a profound understanding of Baroque music. His ornamentation in the slow movement is breathtaking (be sure to listen to the clip availabe on this site).

    Just as exciting as the beautiful playing is the selection of works on this 2-disc set. It ranges from the familiar (Rodrigo & Vivaldi) to the decidedly unfamiliar (Giuliani & Arnold). These last two are particularly delightful finds. Anyone not familiar with the music of Malcolm Arnold is in for a pleasant surprise.

    Two minor quibbles: 1)The liner notes are minimal, with absolutely nothing on the artist. How nice it would be to know more about him! 2)The recorded sound sometimes feels like it's coming from another room - an annoying lack of brilliance and presence here.

    5 out of 5 stars BRAVO FERNANDEZ.......2000-10-25

    This recording of the Aranjuez concerto, is the best I have ever heard. Fernandez, the uruguayan virtuoso, makes the guitar sounds beautifuly. Guitar conerto Number 1 of Castelnuovo-Tedesco, and "fantasia para un gentil hombre", are great played too.

    4 out of 5 stars Well Rounded CD.......2000-05-03

    If you're looking for a CD with a recording of Rodrigo's famous guitar concerto, this is a great buy. The additional tracks are nearly as enjoyable as the Rodrigo piece. I'm no fan of classical guitar, and rightly so, but this CD does make a compelling argument for the genre.

          5 out of 5 stars neverending quality.......2007-01-24

          Joaquín Rodrigo was in a real moment of glory when he created this concerto, for words could be too poor to describe its neverending sensibility. Like few before seen, this work shell go through mankind generations, always rising in itself and in its own shine. That's what I like in it.
