A tie-in with Parkening's similarly titled autobiography, this disc samples some of the guitarist's "greatest hits" and includes two tracks of special interest: a preview of a forthcoming release and a rarity from his youth. Parkening's fans will find the latter fascinating. Dating from 1963, it features the 15-year old soloist in his orchestral concert debut in a very respectable performance of a movement from Castelnuovo-Tedesco's Guitar Concerto No. 1. The preview is a live excerpt from Carlo Domeniconi's Koyunbaba that whets the appetite for more of this Italian composer's Turkish-influenced music. The rest of the disc abounds in previously release, wonderfully executed virtuoso guitar pieces that are display pieces for the instrument at its most expressive. There are Bach arrangements, a generous selection of Spanish works, and the slow movement from Elmer Bernstein's Guitar Concerto. This disc is a must for Parkening's fans and an excellent introduction to classical guitar for the rest of us. -- Dan Davis

Grace Like A River - Christopher Parkening.......2007-02-22
A summary of Christopher Parkening's recording career. Good selection of material.
old stuff under new cover...........2006-07-22
Parkening was once among the top 5 guitarists in the world but that's when segovia was still alive. Parkening's last CD release was in 2000 (Christopher Parkening · Elmer Bernstein ~ Concerto for Guitar - E. Bernstein · Albeniz · Marshall). The reason why he has not produced any new album in 6 years is mysterious to me.
This so called "new" CD, contains only two new (and incomplete) piece of work "Moderato And Presto From Koyunbaba" and the first ever release of Christopher Parkening's live performance of the third movement of Tedesco's Guitar Concerto recorded when Chris was just fifteen years old. All the rest are old stuff and almost all can be found in his 25 year EMI celebration album (The Great Recordings ~ By America's Preeminent Guitar Virtuoso) which includes much more of his best (2 discs).
I usually consider it lame for publishers to make money out of old stuff (like what sony did with many of John Williams albums). The Koyunbaba is just a "preview" and the complete version is scheduled to be released on a next album (just to hook you up). In this new track of koyunbaba, Parkening put in many legatos so that the piece sounds very artificial and over-manipulated. It is intriguing at the begining, though.
On the other hand, i would recommend buying his autobiography of the same title. It is about 300 pages, hard cover and sells for about the same price as this CD. It even include a free sampler (3 tracks) of this CD.

Something different and enjoyable.......2006-06-12
I first heard part of the concert on NPR and was able to track down this CD (NPR's site was not a lot of help!!!)
Anyway, there is a lot of variety of sounds in this work, which surprised me and is what caused me to purchase it in the first place. Hard to explain, but very good music.
The recording quality is also excellent and deserves to be played through a good system.

Austerely Moving Spanish Music--Not Your Usual Rodrigo.......2003-10-29
For some reason although I am attracted mightily to Spanish orchestral and piano music--I've recently written rave reviews of new recordings of Granádos piano music and of delightful Guridi vocal and orchestral music--I am not all that fond of guitars. And since Rodrigo's reputation was built solidly upon his guitar concerti (e.g. the ubiquitous 'Concierto de Aranjuez' and 'Concierto para un gentilhombre') and because I've found that music to be facile but not emotionally involving being being 'pretty,' I had not particularly investigated his music beyond those concerti. My loss, it turns out.
This is Volume 7 of Naxos's ongoing series presenting Rodrigo's complete orchestral music. It contains vocal/orchestral music on religious texts and it is striking from beginning to end.
'Retablo de Navidad' (1952) is a collection of Christmas songs set for soprano and bass soloists, chorus and orchestra. Highly varied, they are consistently engaging and show us a Rodrigo whose skills include fascinating use of varied meters, polytonality, quasi-medieval harmonies as well as Spanish-inflected French-derived impressionistic sound. Particularly moving are the solo soprano's 'La Espera,' whose text expresses hope that the Christ-Child will come, and a lullaby sung by Joseph and Mary, 'Duérmete, Niño,' to words by Rodrigo's wife, Victoria Kamhi. There is also a light-hearted a capella choral song, 'A la Chiribirivuela,' with a tongue-twisting onomatopoetic text.
'Himnos de los neófitos de Qumrán' (1965-74) is a setting of three texts from the Dead Sea scrolls, written in a style that I simply would not have expected from Rodrigo. It is polytonal, uses a tone-row, and has harmonies based consistently on minor seconds, yet it is entirely accessible, its sparse textures conveying the sincerity of these almost whispered hymns of praise for the Almighty. The three archangels--soprano soloists María Jesús Prieto, Victoria Marchante, and Ada Allende--are simply stunning in the purity of their tone and the accuracy of their tuning; the male chorus is hardly less impressive. This twenty-minute set of 'hymns' is destined, surely, to become a repertoire piece [and indeed, I've put in a call to the music director of our local professional chamber choir to put him onto this music].
'Musica para un códice salmantino' ('Music for a Salamancan Codex,' 1953), is an eleven-minute setting for bass soloist, mixed chorus and orchestra written for the septicentenary of the University of Salamanca, which was an important repository of learning during the Dark Ages and an intellectual center of the Renaissance. It is set to 'Oda a Salamanca,' by the university's former rector, the distinguished proto-existentialist philosopher/poet Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936). The text sings the praises of the city and its university ('Oh, Salamanca! Amongst your golden stones the students learnt of love, as the fields which embrace you gave forth their ripe fruits'). The music here creates a feeling of the glory of the Spanish Renaissance with modal harmonies and occasional brass fanfares.
'Cántico de San Francisco de Asis' ('Canticle of Saint Francis of Assisi,' 1982) for chorus and orchestra was written to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the birth of St. Francis. This 19-minute piece is one of Rodrigo's last works. Set to a poem of praise by the saint ('All-highest, omnipotent good Lord, to you be all praise, glory') translated into Spanish, it lists the things for which we should praise God--Mother Earth, Brother Fire, Sister Moon, Brother Sun, Brother Wind and, finally, Sister Death. The string-dominated orchestral music is solemn, medieval in tone with occasional brass and wind interjections and with portentous timpani toward the end. The tone is mystical, austere, ultimately jubilant. The Chorus and Orchestra of the City of Madrid under the direction of José Ramón Encinar are effective, here as in the earlier pieces.
I have to say that I was moved and delighted by this CD, partly because it came as such a suprise to me. I had no idea that Rodrigo was capable of such deeply moving music. And that's one reason I keep listening to new music, music I might not otherwise have heard--for moments like these.
Strongly recommended.

A most enjoyable CD.......2004-06-29
The late composer Joaquin Rodrigo was greatly gifted at composing concerti. The Concierto Pastoral is a most enjoyable work. However, my favourite part of this album is the arrangement of the Fantasia para un gentilhombre by James Galway. Galway adapted the Fantasia for Flute and Orchestra. It is an extremely skillful arrangement. It will complement any recording of the guitar original.

Batiz dirige obras de Rodrigo.......2005-11-15
Antes que el sello Naxos grabara las obras de Rodrigo,
estaba esta grabaccion, la que era y aun es recomendada.
Batiz es un gran exponente de la musica de Rodrigo,
aclamado por el mismo compositor, Batiz dirige las
obras de Rodrigo con claridad, y a la vez mantiene
las obras con el espiritu original que el compositor
expresa. En esta grabaccion el maestro Batiz dirige
tres orquestas:la Royal Philharmonic, London Symphony;
y Orquesta Sinfonica del Estado de Mexico. Los
unicos conciertos que aqui no aparecen son: Concierto
para una Fiesta, y Concierto como un Divertimento.
Una grabaccion de recomendaccion maxima...
A great introduction to Rodrigo!.......2004-02-11
I had much of this material on vinyl, and it's great to have these packaged on 4 full budget-priced CDs. The sound is quite acceptable, although a little bright, which was common for early digital recordings from the 80's. But, they're otherwise clear and full. There are better recordings of the guitar concertos (which is a crowded field), but they hold up fairly well - and are better than Batiz' rerecordings of the some of the guitar concertos he did some 10 years ago on ASV.
The other concertos are quite nice as well. Distinctively Rodrigo-esque!
Anyone interested in this set will want to invest in Batiz' more recent survey with his Mexican State Orchestra of Rodrigo works.
Highly recommended!
Blind Can Hear..........2003-02-13
This is an album dedicated to the works of one of the most prominent Spanish composers of the 20th Century. His music is luscious, melodic, with uncompromised energy and excitement. Rodrigo was blind and had a love affair with the Concerto form, and this is Batiz's dedication to the man and his many works in that form.
I too disagree with the reviewer who said the recording was muddy. I think it captures the music well, and all of the soloists come out as intended in the score. I think the balance and tone are wonderful. I hope that helps!
Excellent Rodrigo compendium........1999-09-20
This is great music, with great performances, on a very good recording. (I disagree with the other online reviewer--to me the soloists sound crisp and rich.)
Rodrigo and Batiz deserve better than this,.......1998-10-30
As a long-time fan of Joaquin Rodrigo and a more recent fan of Enrique Batiz I eagerly looked forward to getting acquainted with some of Rodrigo's rarely heard pieces. Unfortunately thoses pieces will remain rarely heard due to the poor production quality of the CD. The sound was muddy and indistinct. Most of the tracks sound as if the microphone was under the stage. I had to strain to hear the guitar, harp, and flute soloists.
