4 out of 5 stars Flamenco!.......2004-05-21

First things first. Pepe Romero, of the famed "First Family of the Guitar," the Romeros, is an astoundingly good guitarist, and on this album he tackles the traditional flamenco repertoire with winning results. His guitar playing is superhuman in its fluidity and speed, yet he never sounds forced or mechanical. For the most part, he plays with the intense ragged intricacy required of this music, though in a few places his interpretations feel more classical than flamenco. However, I believe he recorded this in his teens, so some lapses in interpretation can be forgiven. He also proves himself very fluent in the classical guitar literature. Normally, these minor flaws would not warrant a full rating point deduction, and if I had never heard flamenco before I would be completely blown away by Romero, but I own a record by a guitarist (?) named Jose Greco, entitled "Tanzas Flamencas," which completely surpasses this recording. Greco seems to possess a more intuitive understanding of flamenco, and his music is certainly more emotionally expressive than Romero's, as well as exhibiting a much wider dynamic range. Either way, Romero does not disappoint, though Greco's LP is well worth seeking out.

I play Flamenco guitar, and for anyone who knows flamenco - this IS flamenco! Fantastic! A MUST have! Anyone who doesn't know that, doesn't know music and passion - and specifically - flamenco.

1 out of 5 stars Boring.......2001-09-02

Unfortuntely, this was one of my first encounters with the "flamenco guitar" and I have to say that it made me look away from flamenco for many years. I found it no more interesting than listening to a machine gun. Not until I heard Paco Peña several years later did I realize that not all flamenco had to be as boring as this CD.

4 out of 5 stars Pepe never ceases to astound!.......2000-03-23

Every time I put this cd in my machine I have to brace myself for the unbelievable energy that comes from the speakers. The control Pepe has over his rasgueados (flourish-like effect produced by the fingers of the right hand)and tremelos is by far the best I have ever heard. His flamenco playing makes you want to get out and learn the steps yourself just to see what he's projecting. The only place where the recording is "iffy" is his duet with his father. It's a little shaky but hardly noticeable, could even be the arrangement itself. The very last piece, a duet with his brother Angel, is my very favorite. Played with some kind of double-stinged instrument (like a twelve sting guitar but different somehow) is had a very thick, beautiful quality to it.

I found this album by accident and it was the most pleasant surprise. I am not a spanish speaker, but language is not important for the music is so wonderful, exciting and heart felt. I was even more surprised to find one of my favorite songs from Joe Dassin in the album. I recommend this album very strongly, I hope Lui La Fe will decide to release more albums such as the this one. What a beautiful and uniquely amazing voice. I cannot wait for the next album!
