lots of fun, better phrasing than volume 1.......2005-05-04

i like this record mostly. my absolute favorite on here is the giuliani grand overture op.61...romero's playing here is absolutely goregous...breathtaking. also exceptional are the mudarra and the rodrigo and scarlatti. its only like 7 bucks so just buy it. some people complained of weird phrasing on vol. 1 of this series, but i am glad to say that this problem isnt really present here. the only thing that i dislike really is guardame las vacas...i feel that he sacrafices good phrasing for the sake of a display of speed...such playing isnt needed for a traditional piece like this.

Beautiful music, great performances........2000-09-21

Normally I don't like most 20th century music. I do, however, like these lovely concertos by Rodrigo; and these are my favorite performances. Romero is my favorite classical guitarist and he plays these pieces superbly -- with skill, romance, and emotional commitment -- ably accompanied by Previn. The highlight of this disc is the gorgeous slow movement of the Concierto de Aranjuez, but all of the music is attractive and played superbly. Highly recommended.
