The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra needs a guitar player!.......2006-11-09

Granted, they only need it for one composition (the last one, "The James Bond Theme") but still, without the guitar it's just not the same. Barry didn't compose this one so I suppose it was a bonus and I shouldn't complain, really. The rest of the music on all the CDs is fantastic. Some of the stuff I had heard before without realizing who had composed it. Very enjoyable, to say the least.

Persuaders Theme!.......2006-03-02

Buy it for the Persuaders theme, probably the best TV theme song ever written.

A Variety Of Classics!.......2005-12-06

John Barry has been composing film scores for over forty years and this is only scratching the surface of his productions. Never mind that the entire set is recorded by the Prague Philharmonic; it's pure to Barry's themes. While John Williams compositions ("Star Wars", etc.) are wild and flamboyant and Jerry Goldsmith's (Hoosier's, etc.) are mood pieces, John Barry crosses over all barriers and is amazingly diverse. Barry has recorded most of the exciting James Bond themes, melodramatic classics like "The Lion In Winter' and moody theme hits like "Midnight Cowboy". He also tugs at the heartstrings with compositions from, "Somewhere In Time", "Frances" and "Out Of Africa". He varies his themes for all types of films and few composers capture it so well.

There is over four hours of music in this set with a colorful and informative booklet.

Incredible Barry Collection.......2004-03-11

Any fan of movies will absolutley love this collection. Being a movie buff I couldn't wait to get this boxed set. Knowing Barry from all the James Bond movies, I did not realize his involvement with so many others. The orchestra is magnificent in all these themes. I'm listening to "High Road to China" right now and I'm drifting in the clouds in a Tiger Moth with Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong. If you are familiar with a movie it will definitely have you seeing it again, if not the scores are still beautiful. Any fan of classical music will be pleased as well. Travellers will defintitely enjoy it for a long drive. I know from when I use to travel that music like this made the miles float by faster. I highly recommend these four CDs even if you just know a handful of the songs.

" one of cinema's greatest composers...John Barry".......2001-07-06

This collection of four compact discs...are worth their weight in GOLD! Barry creates visual moods for each film he scores...romantic, sentimental, action, adventure, suspense and mystery...the list could go on. Strings, brass and lush-velvet arrangements overlay each cue in his distinctive style of legendary scoring...we have ~ "John Barry:The Collection", Silva Screen's release traces 40 years of film music, featuring "The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra" ~ conducted by Mr. Nic Raine (outstanding)..."Crouch End Festival Chorus" ~ David Temple, Choir Master...perform 56 selections, over four hours of symphonic suites with a full orchestra sound...all individually wrapped-up into one neat package...just the way "film-score-buffs" like 'em!

Must ask the following to take a bow ~ James Fitzpatrick (compilation producer), always in their pitching, Reynold da Silva (executive producer), Nic Raine (conductor, arranger, orchestrator & associate producer), a tremen!dous asset to every project he undertakes...and the man who made it all possible...a legendary icon always leading the way in film scoring ~ JOHN BARRY!

Total Time: 258:76 on 56 Tracks ~ SSD-1128 ~ (2001)

You might try other albums from Silva Screen, all worthy of a good listen ~ "The Essential James Bond" (SSD-1034)..."Bond:Back In Action" (SSD-1100)..."Bond:Back In Action 2" (SSD-1119)..."Zulu" (SSD-1095)..."Raise The Titanic" (SSD-1102)..."Walkabout" (SSD-1120)...check out my reviews on amazon.com/music.

You Can't Beat the Bonus DVD that comes with this Live CD! St. Rebecca JAMS!.......2007-06-12

Rebecca St. James aLIVE IN FLORIDA is a GREAT BARGAIN BUY for a brand new CD! You get a whole CD full of live music, and then the bonus DVD shows you the same songs on a DVD, so you get to witness the concert yourself, on you own TV, all for the price of a single CD! If you like the music of Rebecca St. James, then there is no way that you can go wrong with buying this CD/DVD!

The music is LOUD guitar rock underpinned with kinetic keyboards, while Rebecca's two younger brothers provide back up vocals, and Rebecca runs the whole show with her great vocals and Christian lyrics.

The CD and DVD are nearly identical, but not exactly. The CD has one extra song, "Lion," which is not on the DVD, while the DVD includes many minutes of Rebecca talking and introducing different songs, and even promoting Compassion International, the Christian charity for children of the world.

The live video on the DVD is very flashy and professional! It really looks like something as loud and rowdy as could be expected from a secular rock group. The DVD show reminds me of U2's ZooTV era concerts of the 1990's, or R.E.M.'s TOURFILM concert from around 1990. I don't mean that Rebecca's concert is old fashioned, but rather that nobody has really gone beyond U2 or R.E.M.'s flashy concert presentations ever since, and Rebecca's crew make her concert seem just as state-of-the-art polished as anything else out there! This live show on DVD is so cool looking that I am even more impressed with the show biz expertise of Rebecca St. James after seeing the DVD, and I already thought of her as the best Christian singer around, before I saw this DVD.

Most of the songs come from her album, IF I HAD ONE CHANCE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING, from 2005. The two oldest songs, "Wait for Me," and "Reborn" come from her electronica/techno drenched album TRANSFORM, from 2000. The two other songs are from her LIVE WORSHIP album of 2004 (which this aLIVE IN FLORIDA easily surpasses in enjoyability), and from WORSHIP GOD from 2002.

The one thing I did miss was the inclusion of a few of her really LOUD songs from the 1990s, like "God," and many others, from her very memorable CDs, GOD and PRAY. Maybe she will bring back some of those great, older songs on future tours, I hope!

This DVD could have easily been sold separately, so this CD/DVD package cannot be beat for price value, and, most imporantly, entertainment value with the strongest Christian message of any other Christian rock bands around today!

The Very Best of Christian Music.......2007-05-30

I've seen Rebecca St. James twice in concert and have loved her music and ministry. This cd and dvd bring it home with the spirit and energy of the live concert.

The songs include praise and worship songs and songs about relationships (the kind you want your family to hear) and "Lion" that refers to Aslan from the Narnia series (a favorite of my young daughter.)

I think Rebecca's music here will satisfy the tastes of any who appreciate up-tempo music with Christian lyrics. These songs are as good as any you would hear in today's pop culture and the lyrics are full of positive messages.

We have also enjoyed watching the dvd and listening to it at home. The songs are great for the ipod and the car.

Thank God for Rebecca.......2007-05-28

It's great finally see Rebecca in live...well at least in DVD live. The DVD is great because it shows Rebecca's live show as good as you were in there seeing her. There's also "preaching" about "Beatiful Stranger" which means people in poor countries who have not enough money to eat or about women who have many children and no husband at all. This is not just a live DVD...it's about telling people that there's somewhere other people who live poorly, and we can help them. Like Jesus said "The poor will be with you always..."...But still...although we cannot remove all the poorness away ... we can help many people!

The DVD and CD are great! At first seems that the sound effects are not so good but "Lamb of God" is great! It's great to hear and see "Wait for Me" (Rebecca tells also about "waiting for the future husband" - not onlt for girls but also for men "to wait their future wifes". It's great to hear a rocking version of "Reborn"...this version should everybody have!

Although DVD and CD are full of good material, I still would have hoped that there would have been songs from "God", "Pray", as well as the debut. I really enjoyed the acoustic live version of "You Are Loved" (rebecca tells a story of this song too). There's also a song in which Rebecca doesn't sing at all - "Without Love" which is performed by her brothers Joel and Luke. The new song "Lion" is only in CD but not DVD. Well, it's a great song still - and I hope it will be in Rebecca's forthcoming album.

Stars: Reborn, Wait for Me, Lamb of God, Alive

Rebecca comes aLive in this rich double header.......2007-04-16

Performed in Ft. Myers Florida, Rebecca's latest offering is a CD/DVD combo - the DVD being a live concert of her performing almost the same roster as the CD. You'll get her Compassion International talk and her natural engagement of the audience on the DVD. Watching the DVD is just like being at one of Rebecca's concerts, complete with her personal vignettes about things like kangaroos in her backyard in Australia and what she's learned from the Swiss Alps. The colorful light show and close ups make it real. The DVD also features two music videos, "Forgive Me" and "God Help Me", plus another shorter Compassion International plug.

Rebecca brings a lot of variety to the project, with brothers Joel and Luke helping out with the vocals on many cuts. If there is a theme, it could be true love songs, both sung for a certain someone (an old school friend or her future husband) as Rebecca croons about her doubts and devotion, and also her true love for her Savior. aLIVE in Florida has a worshipful feel, with Rebecca reminding us to give our all, our everything, to God.

The CD adds a bonus track - a funky, techno remix version of the earlier performed acoustic "You Are Loved". This one really rocks. In fact, Rebecca's sound seems to have grown more rocky and less Brittney. Her voice flows from a more nasal tone in the jazzy anthem "Wait For Me" to clear and pure. Her pitch is close to perfect throughout.

With the CD produced by Joel, and the executive producer being father David, the project is a true family affair, with sister Libby singing BGVs on "Blessed Be Your Name" as well. Rebecca takes a step back from the spotlight letting her brothers Joel and Luke perform their song "Without Love" from their as yet to be released CD. You'll find it on both the CD and DVD.

Rebecca comes aLive in this rich double header. The CD alone would be a great deal, but add the DVD and you've got a real winner.

will the real "Very Best of RSJ" please stand up?.......2007-04-12

I have only been a RSJ fan since her Transform album and don't really like her stuff before that, so I think the collection of songs on this album is a perfect collection of some of her best songs as of late. There are of course a few songs not anywhere else. There is a song sung solely by her brothers, a remix of the studio version "You Are Loved" and the song "Lion" which isn't really that good in my opinion but you can't get it anywhere else unless you buy one of the Narnia soundtracks. I bought it mainly for the DVD because I live in Alaska, and we don't get as many performers as the lower 48, although I've already seen RSJ live in concert twice. She has as pure and giving heart in person as she does on the DVD. That is one thing I loved about the DVD. She had a very moving, specific, alter call instead of just some incantational predicable prayer. RSJ truly wants to glorify God and bring ppl to Jesus and she is not the type of person to get the crowd hyped up just over her presence. She is truly a great worshipper, a great performer and the DVD is edited very well. I don't know if they had to do any post editing but the sound mix is great; and if you have surround sound, watch the DVD in surround sound. It is amazing and makes use of all the speakers and the subwoofer, so it's truly an experience. This is a great collection of songs, and truly a quality mix and production. I'd suggest this for die hard fans to newcomers.

Powerful CD!.......2006-06-02

My father pastored at a church in Albany, GA about 5 years ago where we played these same songs. The power of God would fill the church! It was amazing! I'm only 19 at the moment, but just owning this CD and listening to it as I drive, I can feel God with me every moment. He is real, and the annointing that is over the church in Pensacola had reached into this CD and grabs you head on....if you ever get a chance, visit this church! It'll change your life!

The greatest lifetime experiance.......2003-09-13

I actually was lucky enough to go and visit their church. ( I was not a christian when I went either) My mother tricked me into going by telling me we were going on a vacation to Pensacola. Anyway, everytime I hear this CD it takes me back to the day I changed my life. The CD is great!!! I recommend every one buys it for someone they love, it just might change their life.

Great CD!.......2002-10-21

Wonderfly done! Every song on this cd is good and that is hard to find. "The God who made the world and everything in it is Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not served by human hands as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else."-Acts 17:24,25

a good kind of crossover music.......2000-06-26

The attraction of this cd is more universal than what you might think. When a friend gave it to me as a gift, I was quite surprised to discover that five of the songs that we sing with our Spanish congregation were translations from the original songs on this album. This is a good kind of crossover music - not one that appeals to our worldy desires as well as spiritual, but one that appeals to our common spiritual desire to worship God across our cultural and language barriers. When music is universal enough to merit translation and is used frequently in worship in different cultures, you can be fairly sure that it has the stamp of the Holy Spirit on it. A beautiful and inspiring album.

Sing unto the Lord!.......1999-08-24

I've owned this CD for a while now, and it is awesome! The Praise songs are just that Praise, whether you're at church or at home this kind of music will lead you into the presence. Lindell Cooley has such an incredible voice and he leads the Brownsville Assembly of God choir and the congregation into the presence as well. He is an annointed man which makes the music annointed. If you like this CD, you'll love other recordings, such as: Awake America live from Dallas and other volumes.

A wonderful journey.......2006-02-17

The guitar performance is as good as it gets. Every track could have been recorded as a solo performance and worked very well. The percussion and saxophone enrich the context and move the performance into something more than just music. After listening you feel like you've just enjoyed something wonderful and at the same time you've been educated without realizing it! After listening you understand something about Latin American music that you didn't before.

my introduction to the classical guitar technique.......2005-05-22

The Journey to the Amazon does just what the title suggests, taking you on an melodious adventure of guitar and local instruments and rhythms. This disc was my introduction to the sound of a classical guitar, and I found that the path Sharon Isbin took from more classical repertoire suited her style well. I may not have liked the sound of classical guitar at all if I had first listened to it in a more traditional genre.

Mesmerizing!!.......2004-02-29

This CD was my first exposure to Sharon Isbin, and I am absolutely mesmerized by it!! The music is beautiful, lyrical and moving. You can close your eyes and feel transported to a lovely other-worldly place full of graceful Latin/Brazilian rhythms.

Beyond beautiful, a wonderful work.......2003-09-08

This recording was one of my early exposures to Sharon Isbin on CD. I had the pleasure of experiencing her live performance prior to the purchase of this CD. As a fan of heavier guitar music, (i.e. Steve Vai and Eric Johnson), I never believed I would enjoy a classical guitarist. I was so completely moved by the performance Ms. Isbin gives on this CD, that I promptly purchased "Dreams of a World" and most recently "Baroque Favorites for Guitar". I highly recommend this CD if you want to hear a guitarist whose work defies traditional categorization. I give it 10 stars! Please try to see Ms. Isbin live in recital if she comes to your area; you will experience a remarkable performance.

As enjoyable as their live performance!.......2002-05-28

I had the good fortune of hearing these performers live and relished every moment. Rarely does a CD live up to a live performance, but this is one that does and more. A must buy!!

This interesting Delius disc contains one of his first major works, the Florida Suite. It was while working on an orange plantation in Solano Grove, Florida, that Delius first captured that sense of nature's intoxication that permeates all of his best music. It was also there that he caught the syphilis that would eventually blind him, and later cause his death. Aren't you glad you knew that? Anyway, the other major work is the haunting tone poem Over the Hills and Far Away. The other pieces are short, entertaining, and ephemeral, but they're all performed with great skill and expertise. A very good deal at budget price. --David Hurwitz

The Florida Suite stems from the time the young Delius spent on a plantation (sent by his father as a possible business future for his son) overseeing orange groves. Fortunately for us, Delius studied music and not business. Delius' father recognized his son's true vocation and sent him to the Leipzig Conservatory to study music; the Florida Suite was written during his student years. The first movement of the suite includes music (known as La Calinda) that was later used in Koanga, so it is appropriate to have the final scene of that opera included in this CD. The third movement recalls the plantation workers after the day is done and the dance they do that has Spanish feel to it. The final movement is a very effective evocation of night. The opera Koanga is set on a plantation in Louisiana, revolving around a slave-girl named Palmyra, which worked well with descriptive music about Florida.

Over the Hills and Far Away is a fantasy-overture. It is a joyous work that evokes a landscape of distant hills. The theme is the subject of several variations. The Idylle Printemps nicely expresses the season of the title and the Scherzo and La Quadroone were part of a larger suite for orchestra (subtitled Rhapsodie floridienne). This music is perfect if you have had a difficult day and want to relax.

The CD is nicely recorded and David Lloyd-Jones is a superb interpreter of Delius' music. Highly recommended.

Another Great Naxos Recording at a Great Price.......2004-05-13

I am not all that familiar with the works of Frederick Delius, and I know I am probably not alone. His opera, A VILLAGE ROMEO AND JULIET is sometimes performed in his native England, but other than seeing a few of his works in the DECCA catalog, I knew little about this composer until Boston's local classical music station, WCRB began playing "By the River" from Delius' FLORIDA SUITE as what they like to call a "track to relax." I fell in love with the piece and wanted to add it to my collection, but had a hard time finding it, until I looked where else but the Naxos catalog and discovered this gem of a recording.. In FLORIDA SUITE, Delius is able to create an American feel to the music using the great attributes of the European classical tradition. The other tracks on the recording likewise demonstrate Delius' gifts as a composer. Delius's sound is a full and majestic one. One of the more curious tracks is an excerpt from his little known opera Koanga. The same techniques that made the other tracks beautiful likewise work in this operatic excerpt.

The English Northern Philharmonia under the direction of David Lloyd Jones honors their countryman well in this work. And, as so often is the case, Naxos delivers quality at a great price

Such a great treat!.......2004-04-06

Frederick Delius' "Florida Suite" has got to be among the finest compositions of all time. Every line of it amply speaks for Delius' strong connection with and subtle appreciation for the myriad aspects of nature. Few works can match its elegant beauty, which is rendered so nicely on this performance. And the wonderful sound quality makes for very satisfying listening.

Among the quick results I've obtained from listening to this CD is a real appetite for the works of Mr. Delius. I read that he abandoned England in his youth for the managment of some orange groves of Florida, which he rather neglected in favor of his music. We are very lucky indeed that both the orange crop-and this sumptuous music-remain vital today. Mr. Delius has gone, but perhaps we will see his like once more, in a better world, to remind us of the power of nature.

A wonderful "Florida Suite".......2001-09-18

Delius, to me, is one of the most underappreciated composers. Often dismissed as a composer of light, impressionistic miniatures, he in fact composed several large scale works of which the "Florida Suite" may be the most famous. Made up of four movements the work contains some of the composers most delightful melodies including the famous "La Calinda" which he would use again in his opera "Koanga". This is its original setting and makes for a wonderful opening to the work. The second movement "By the River", a favorite of Sir Thomas Beecham, contains a wonderful flowing melody that just carries the listener along.

This CD is also of importance to the Delius fan as it contains several works which are recorded for the first time on this CD: Idylle Printemps,La Quadroone, and "Scherzo".

The recording has a wonderful full sound and David Lloyd-Jones, who has previously recorded several acclaimed releases for Naxos, gets excellent performances out of the members of the English Northern Philharmonia.

79 minutes of Delius in a recording that can stand up to the majors in every way.

Here is a guitar disc that brings special delight. The soloist is Jason Vieaux, winner of the 1992 Guitar Foundation of America International Competition, the youngest musician in GFA history to take home the top prize (he was 19 when he did it). He is a brilliant musician, and his mastery is evident on every track of this debut disc. Audiophiles are encouraged to check this recording out as well. The instrument is magnificently present, and the dynamic and tonal gradations Vieaux achieves are registered with breathtaking immediacy; his percussive knocks to the body of the instrument have a particularly startling impact. Every nuance is captured, without undue prominence being given to artifacts like string noise. Vieaux's phenomenal talent and musicality are now a matter of record, and if this CD is any gauge we can expect him to be writing some exciting new pages in the history of the guitar. --Ted Libbey

Perfect.......2006-12-20

Before I bought my own copy, my guitar teacher lent me his copy of this CD, it immediately became my favorite guitar recording. Vieaux's playing is technically brilliant and expressive. And I really enjoyed the selection of music on this CD. I would have to say this CD has had the largest influence on me as a musician than any other CD I have ever listened to since my first Jimi Hendrix CD (which was 16 years ago). I have at this point learned about 9 of the pieces featured on this CD, and there are still a few more I want to learn. The Variations on a Moldavian Hora is the single most impressive piece on the entire CD, and ironically it is the one piece I cannot locate the sheet music for! Other then the Moldavian Hora, the entire selection of guitar pieces are from South American composers. If you enjoy this CD, also check out Ricardo Cobo's Naxos recording "Latin American Guitar Music", which has pieces of music in similiar styles, and by some of the same composers, played with just as much skill. Come to think of it, buy all the Naxos guitar recordings! They are all great, and I plan to own them all!

A sure thing.......2006-09-17

This is, by far, my favorite "new" performer of classical guitar. On this CD, his technique is without flaw. His tone production will bring tears to your eyes. Th eproduction of the CD itself is tremendous. Buy it!

Los Argentinos y la Guitarra.......2005-10-17

Es sorprendente ver como las culturas atravez de los tiempos han acoplado la guitarra a sus diversos estilos y formas musicales, pero pocos lo han hecho tan nostalgicamente bonito
como los Argentinos. Lo que han logrado ha sido un estilo unico,
y tan de ellos como las pampas y los gauchos. Merlin, Morel y Pujol han logrado lo que pocos han hecho en la guitarra clasica, un estilo limpio, puro y nostalgico, pero es una nostalgia que no aburre, una nostalgia que inspira a recordar
verdaderamente creo que en las obras de esta grabaccion
los Argentinos han hecho la guitarra suya. En lo que
se refiere a la obra de Agustin Barrios, "El gran Paraguayo"
tiene un estilo unico, Barrios en su musica explora varios
estilos, en diferentes formas...En general, una magistral
grabaccion de obras Latinoamericanas para la guitarra.
Jason Vieaux hace un formidable trabajo, creo que este
sera unos de los grandes guitarristas del siglo XXI.

Great Guitarist.......2004-12-17

I bought this cd because it was cheap and had a few Morel pieces I was working on at the time. I had no idea who Jason Vieaux was, but I do now. The Merlin Suite is absolutely brilliant. His playing is flawless and inspiring. Great recording quality too. I look forward to hearing more from this young talent.

An Amazing Recording.....but listen to his new releases, too.......2003-11-14

Jason Vieaux, as several other reviewers of this disc have observed, is at the forefront of the next generation of classical guitarists. His musicality is never compromised by a lack of technique (since he seems not to lack anything in technique). The program performed here is very exciting, and shows Vieaux at an extremely high level, especially for someone who at the time was about 20 years old!!! While I implore everyone to acquire this recording, I also have followed Vieaux's career and seen him grow into a far more mature and accomplished player than the one heard in this recording. I highly, HIGHLY, recommend everyone to buy his recordings for the Azica label of the Ponce Guitar Sonatas and "Sevilla - the Music of Isaac Albeniz". If you were impressed with this recording, buy these two and you will experience one of the most musical performances by any classical musician on any instrument!

Simply Brilliant!.......2007-02-02

I have both Russell and Williams and just finished giving Williams a five star review as well. Yep: I cannot help you by pointing to one or the other as being better in any way. Williams is very direct and tackles each piece effortlessly, and in particular executes the tambora technique better than Russell, (or at least, it's recorded better). Russell meanwhile (as many point out) has a peculiar ability to inject more mood and/or feeling into a given piece - not just the (boring) drama of slower numbers either, but also the excitement and energy of faster numbers. Because of this it's really well worth your while to pick up EVERYTHING Russell has recorded: I've yet to encounter something I didn't like a LOT.

I particularly enjoy the Danza Paraguaya tunes featured here, but prefer Williams for Cueca, and for his inclusion of Maxixa and Aconquija... in short: you've got to get both to fully appreciate the genius of Barrios!

6 Stars.......2007-01-11

This is some of the most difficult guitar music ever written. David Russell makes these pieces sound like they were of average difficulty and his spontaneity is incredible. Much more spontaneous than Williams. Williams takes some liberty when making chord changes, etc. and it almost becomes redundant and boring. Russell does none of that. All of the pieces are flowing and absolutely beautiful. The feeling of the pieces comes shining through. There is so much going on in this music which makes it so interesting and Russell overlooks nothing. Much of these compositions sound like there are two guitars as you will see when you listen to this. There is no guitar composition like a Barrios composition. Amazing.

Alexander-Sergei Ramirez.......2006-08-25

I think I've listen 5-6 different versions for many of Barrios works. From all of them, the one that stands out is the CD from Alexander-Sergei Ramirez.

Mangore, el mago de la guitarra.......2006-07-17

Mangore sigue siendo el mago de la guitarra. lo considero a la altura de Andres Segovia o superior pues también era compositor.
El interprete de este volumen es increiblemente bueno, tanto en la parte tecnica como lo interpretativo. pocas interpretaciones había escuchado tan bien logradas y me sorprendi al ver la pieza "a mi madre" pues consideraba que tenia todas las partituras de Mangore. veo que su produccion sigue dando de que hablar. esta fue una pieza que me conmovio.

damned fine Barrios.......2005-05-31

This is one of the first CDs that I listened to when getting into classical guitar and classical music in general and I couldn't think of a better one for a Barrios lover. Russell's rubato is sparing and tasteful (if you want to hear excessive rubato check out Norbert Kraft) and his tremolo technique is well-honed. He absolutely KILLS "En Sueno en la Floresta" and his "Ultima Cancion" is very moving. And he makes the Waltz Op. 8 No. 4 sound like 2 guitars playing.

This album will always be compared to John Williams's and in the end I think Russell's is better; Williams's reputation for being to mechanistic is well-earned in my opinion and his "Ultima Cancion" doesn't quite do it for me like Russell's does. It's a shame that Julian Bream never extensively recorded this music, it would be interesting to hear what he could do with it.
