Customer Rating:      Summary: mellow music Comment: This cd has a lovely classic guitar sound. I only gave it 4 stars because I expected a more lively cd (you know the kind of fast fingering classical guitar?). Don't get me wrong - the music is REALLY nice, it's just a much slower and mellower fingering than I was anticipating.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Phasing is awkward Comment: I agree with the review from "A music Fan" who said Angel's phasing is awkward. I was able to listen to this at a store and totally agree that Angel's phasing is awkward and unnatural. For instance, Adelita sounds stiff and brittle, very unsatisfying.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Unbelievable technique, unorthodox phrasing Comment: As my title states, Angel Romero's technique is very clean and precise. His dynamic range is huge. This set of pieces in itself is a documentation of his versatility as an artist; combining pieces of pure burn (Allard) with simple (Tarrega miniatures) and artful soundscapes (Torroba, Albeniz). However, the phrasing is often very akward. I don't understand why someone with so much musical background and technique, coming from a family that practically educated the instrument on musicality, would phrase music so irrationally. For instance, listen to Angel's Estudio Brillante. The phrasing sounds like the fingering. Any master violinist or pianist playing this piece would not phrase the scale and arpeggio phrases in the way Romero does on this recording. Otherwise, the album is basically a greatist hits CD with some formidably played but non-essential renditions of the pieces all classical guitar masters play.
