Album Description
This recital gives a fascinating insight into the many influences on Cuban culture: among them 400 years of Spanish colonial rule and 60 years of exposure to North American culture prior to the 1959 revolution. The music ranges across Afro-Cuban rhythms, twentieth century harmonies, elements of jazz and impressionism, traditional European forms of composition, the country dance form known as the son montuno, and contemporary harmonization of Yoruba melodies from the Oriente region.Customer Reviews:
Solo Cuban Guitar Music Highlighted in Diverse Program.......2005-04-24
The tone can be at once seductive and then later inspirational, yet what remains consistent is Tamayo's delicate and assured playing, which beautifully conveys the gentle relaxed quality of these works, Some pieces stand alone, such as "El Manicero" (which some may recognize as a variation of the tropical song Judy Garland sang in the "Born in a Trunk" number in "A Star Is Born") or the "Preludio" (the theme from the film "Soy Cuba") and "Canción Triste" by Carlos Fariñas. The remainder function as part of short suites, for instance, the lovely canción-danza pairing by Aldo Rodriguez, which gives a nice structure to otherwise disparate musical styles. The last eight tracks represent an adaptation of Yoruba religious music by Hector Angulo. Quite beautiful and atmospheric on their own, these short pieces convey some intriguing rhythmic drive and complexity that seem odd for a guitar by itself to express. But the Cuban-born Tamayo (now teaching master classes in Salzburg at the Mozarteum) shows impressive dexterity in capturing such emotions on the guitar. As a whole, the album reveals a repertoire well worth discovering and another dimension of Cuban music beyond salsa and the Buena Vista Social Club. This is another of Naxos' discounted recordings ($6.98), an excellent purchase.

The classical heritage .......2006-04-16
In the particular case of Fernando Sor, we have a wisdom blending of the counterpoint technique, an evocative mood from his own that, added the well known influence of the Italian composers (Domenico Cimarrosa and Giovanni Batista Pergolesi) and his beloved love for the Operatic genre, allowed him to enrich still more the lyrical possibilities of the guitar. Besides, unlike Nicolo Paganini, for instance fortunately did not transform the guitar in a simple device to show his overwhelming gifts. He used the guitar to play music, on the opposite approach of Paganini who used the music as mere device to play his instrument.
In the guitar genre there has not been most deserved and superb tribute to Mozart that this Variations Op. 9 based on a motive of The most famous Mozart ?s Magic Flute. Loaded of such imaginative freshness and enraptured inspiration you may notice that one of the Variations conserves an undeniable Italian flavor; this is one of the most beloved hidden treasures the guitar can offers us, which raise with special charm in the hands of this formidable soloist.
Aguado on the contrary acquired due his personal state of things, a notable adroitness who excelled by far, to Sor, so his musical approaches rode in opposite directions, trying to exploit at maximum levels the technical possibilities of the instrument.
Julian Bream makes a colossal tribute to both composers in this egregious and golden album.

These 65 minutes of solo guitar playing--handsomely, intimately recorded--are a pleasure to listen to. Russell is a true virtuoso, playing with an ease and assurance which gives the recital the great subtle, variety it should have. He's equally at home with the catchy, playful "Zapateado" by De La Maza that opens the program as he is with Llobet's lyrical, singable, relaxed "El testament d'Amelia." The beautiful, lullaby-like "La filla del Marxant" (also by Llobet) is as smooth as silk, and the four pieces by Andres Segovia have a flavor all their own. The downright odd, but alluringly discordant "El Abejorro" by Pujol will enchant and puzzle you. The program is songlike, dancelike, familiar and new-sounding, and Russell's graceful way with each style is ideal. Every note, every delicate harmonic, is audible and important, but there's never a sense of underlining either a melodic or rhythmic phrase. Russsell lets the music, diverse and fascinating, speak for itself. A must for those who love the classical guitar, especially with a Spanish flavor. --Robert Levine

Customer Reviews:
This CD will take you to Spain--whether you've been before or not........2006-03-08
Surprisingly, many of these pieces were born on the piano keyboard, but the ear of any Spanish composer is so attuned to the guitar that each of these works seems inseparable from the strings of the guitar. These haunting melodies--stately or spritely, meditative or lyrical--were meant to be plucked and strummed.
Julian Bream has devoted much of his life to this music, and he does not so much play them as let them come to life under his fingers. Listen to how the tentative, intimate beginning of 'Mallorca' opens onto a rippling dance figure. The most difficult passages unfold without apparent effort, but what is more unusual is Bream's ability to shape even the quietest passages with unobtrusive care.
If you love the Spanish guitar, treat yourself to this recording. If you've never heard how one guitar can weave a spell, this is your chance to find out.
MUSIC OF CATALUNYA.......2004-12-28
This record is nothing short of heavenly, both the playing and the remarkable recorded quality that seems to bring the hearer face to face with the great Bream in person. It is all easy listening, and there are no show-off virtuoso numbers although several can't be simple, or at least not simple to play like this. For variety and versatility of tone, rhythm that is both strong and flexible, lyric beauty and a shining sense of affection for and understanding of the music I don't believe I have ever heard a guitar recital to surpass this. The Albeniz and Granados pieces that make up most of the selection were recorded in 1982, the other three items in the following year. I can't even attempt to name a favourite, but as I have a couple of piano performances of the `Spanish dance #5' of Granados played under the title `Andaluza' by no less than Michelangeli the comparison is going to be fascinating.
The liner note does its job quite adequately, which is more than I could say for some. The recording I've already mentioned - simply stunning. These pieces come under the classification `classical', and I have no quarrel with that so long as it doesn't deter lovers of the instrument who would, I have no doubt at all, swoop on this recital if it were called popular, light classical or something of that kind. Music is just music in the end, and this is very good music and very unchallenging music. As for guitar players, I'm sometimes inclined to think that there's Bream and there's everyone else.
