Simply Disarming.......2003-02-25

One of the most accessible exponents of batucada, sing-along carnival samba, Martinho da Vila is close to irresistible in delivering simple, largely acoustic based songs that truly capture the essence of Brazilian joy.

Covering the majority of his hits, memorable pieces both for their naive songwriting as for Martinho's laid back charm, "Definitivo" is exactly what is purports to be: Martinho's most loved samba hymns often filled with live audience choruses, always bubbling with percussion, and sung with a nonchalance and uniqueness only da Vila can muster.

For those in search of an intro to one of samba's most representative and captivating musicians, look no further.

Excellent, brilliant, very good, very musical, very original.......2003-09-28

I am so disappointed that these CD's by Kurt Schneeweiss seem to get such poor reception. Reading some of the other reviews I just had to put in my own word.

I play classical guitar myself, I know the music on this recording well, I have plenty of other recordings of this material. But none match up to Schneeweiss's interpretation. He makes these pieces sound like music, instead of like historical bored-to-death recitals.

This is true for all of Schneeweiss's recordings, the whole 7 CD anthology set, of which this CD is just nr. 1, as well as his 10 CD rewrite of Weiss sonatas.

Mostly I think that all the negative criticism is due to the severe lack of real musical experience that exists in classical music circles in general (there are always exceptions). For example, a reviewer of a Steve Hackett concert would never complain about how Steve Hackett changed a few notes in a Vivaldi composition. But if Schneeweiss adds an intro to a Bach piece that's a no-go, how dare he!

Well, I would rather listen to intense and inspired music that violates the letter of Bach or Sor, than listen to dead and uninteresting (but oh so perfect) renditions like the ones by Willams or Bream.

The people who cannot appreciate Schneeweiss must lack in musical perception, probably induced by real classical education.

So to conclude about this CD: buy it, it contains some of the best recordings of classical guitar music that have ever been made, bar none.

All of his collection are wonderful examples of how NOT to play these pieces! If you want to hear how they should be played, check out David Russell, Manuel Barrueco or (usually) Julian Bream or Andres Segovia performances.

Very, very bad CD.......1999-10-19

Kurt Schneeweiss is very strange guitarist. I bought his whole collection (7CDs) "Anthology of Classical Guitar", because the repertoire was very rich, when I saw the cover. I think that he has very good technique but NO FEELING. I also hate his altering most of the pieces. You must listen to it and then you will know what I mean. I think that the worst pieces in his presentation are (in the whole collection): Etude No. 17 by F.Sor, Asturias by I.Albeniz, many of his transcriptions from S.L.Weiss and many others. On the other hand, there are also few quite good pieces: Granada by I.Albeniz, Maxixa by A.Barrios. His collection is really very cheap, but if I can advice you - rather buy some more expensive, but also more quality.

Lots of Guitar Music.......2004-02-28

Well if you are a classical guitar student chances are every peice you have played is included in this set. the recording is very nice. the playing is alright. this guy plays kind of sketchy. he's definately no Andres Segovia or Manuel Barrueco, but he is pretty damn good.
