| I ordered this cd knowing that John Williams played my favorite version of Concierto de Aranjuez, so I was barely taking a chance on the rest. It's a great cd, all around! It is a little heavy and generally melancholy, but Williams' talent makes the melancholy desirable. Williams' version of Satie's Gymnopedie no. 3 is exquisite! |

FOR ALL JOHN WILLIAMS FANS - A CD WELL WORTH BUYING
Submitted on: 2008-06-01 |

Having listened to this CD I though it was outstanding. As a John William fan myself, I always find his technique absulutely brilliant and some of the tracks on there I haven't heard before, which is a bonus. I have quite a few CD's of him playing solo and together with Julian Bream. Also the group Sky he was with back in the early 1980's. This CD I have to say has got to be the best one yet in my collection of John Williams CD's.
I would recommend this CD to all John Williams fans. All so, this CD is genuine and is not a copy from the real thing, which is nice to know. So at least you know what you are buying is worth it's value for money.
It's a good CD for background soft music to enhance the atmosphere of the evening of romance.
For any beginners who are learning to play the classical guitar, I would recommend that you purchase a copy of this and listen to world's greatest classical guitar player at work. That is my opinion anyway.

The Aranjuez Adagio is Perfection
Submitted on: 2007-03-01 |
|
| The second movement adagio of the Aranjuez concert is one of my favourite pieces, a very difficult one to get right. I've listened to well over a dozen variations, the one on this CD, track 19, is an absolute gem. Just by itself is reason enough to own this CD. The only other Aranjuez performance that's even worth mentioning in the same breath is Julian Bream's, track 2 of the CD titled just "Julian Bream", with the Monteverdi orchestra. Both are just stunning performances, as close to perfection as it gets. Julian's is a bit stronger on the guitar than the one here. |
