Customer Reviews of Music of Spain
Bream's greatest accomplishment This is Bream's greatest record, in my opinion. Everyone should own this album
Simply the Best!
The previous reviewer is right on the money. Bream's own transcriptions of these works are marvellous, and I doubt there is a better recording of these works as played on the guitar. This is an awesome classical guitar recording made by the man who I think is the greatest classical guitarist...ever! Bream is at his peak here; listen to the sound he coaxes from his instrument. Amazing playing of very beautiful music, aided by an exceptional recording, the music "intimately explodes" from the speakers. A few years after this, Bream seriously injured his right arm in a freak accident, and literally had to teach himself to play again. I don't think, for all his resolve and brilliance, that he has come close to matching the magic he conjured on this very special recording. This is a disc for all music lovers...even classical guitar naysayers.
Best-ever classical guitar recording?!!
Recorded in 1981, this was the first-ever digital recording by a major classical guitarist, and Julian Bream didn't let the opportunity go to waste. Firstly, Bream's transcriptions of the piano scores are absolutely outstanding - the voicings in Albeniz's Mallorca, to name just one example, are far more logical and musically satisfying than any previous published edition, including Segovia's. Secondly, Bream's playing is so compelling that even though this recording must have had hundreds of edits, not once does one consider the technical difficulties that underlay its production, surely the sign of a master artist at work. Thirdly, its stereo image (captured in a small stone chapel in Wiltshire) is as miraculous as it is glorious - Bream's sitting right there in front of you playing his heart out! This album inspired a generation of classical guitarists the world over, and gave the guitar a whole new audience when the CD format first appeared. As the previous reviewer mentioned, the Navigator edition has extra tracks for less cost, but I prefer the original running order. A true masterpiece that stands the test of time!
