I SAID, "NOW"!!!             Leo Brouwer: Guitar Music, Vol. 110 reviews Leo Brouwer, Ricardo Cobo Naxos, 1998 A score for Naxos Born in Havana, Cuba, in 1939, Leo Brouwer has written some of the most diverse music for any instrument during the last 60 years. You can hear his Cuban background in the dynamic Afro-Cuban strains of his work. And of course, as in all guitar music, there's a rich Spanish element (in fact, one of Brouwer's guitar teachers studied under a pupil of Francisco Tárrega). But on top of that there's ...             Ultimate Collection17 reviews Ernesto Lecuona RCA, 1997 Super CD.... For years, I have wanted Malaguena by Lecuona......as a young teenager, I had a 45 rpm record of the Andulucia Suite. Of course, it is scratchy and old. Sooooo, I finally found this set of CD's as I was browsing Amazon and ordered it. I am so glad that I did as it has much more than my old scratchy 45 rpm record. The sound is terrific and I am enjoying it every time I get in my car.

Sony, 1990 A Superb Copland The greatest compostions by the greatest American composer conducted by himself. What more is there to say? This is a unique pleasure from beginning to end. Kees van Tilburg, The Netherlands             A Copland Celebration Vol. 15 reviews Aaron Copland, Michael Winfield, ... Sony, 2000 The composer as conductor is unusurpassed This is a reissue of recordings conducted by Copland himself that are totally definitive and, to my mind, superior to the recordings by Bernstein that are generally considered to be the best. The composer has a broader, grander vision of these works, taking them at a slower and more majestic pace than Bernstein and others. In his hands this is great classical music, not just upscale cowboy ...             Putumayo Presents: Cafe Cubano7 reviews Various Artists Putumayo World Music, 2008 A Musical Mojito Putumayo's "Cafe Cubano" is the latest in the world music's cafe series,and so far,the best. While Italian&French Cafe are bland collections, the Cuban one is a savory blend of old and new music. The compilation is like a mojito-a cold limeade with the extra kick of rum. There's even a recipe--a mojito dipping sauce made with lime,lemon&orange juices. "Cafe Cubano" opens with Jose Conde y Ola ...             Marc Ribot Y Los Cubanos Postizos24 reviews Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos Postizos Atlantic / Wea, 1998 Superb guitar An extraordinary album. I'm new to Marc Ribot, but this album is full of surprises--witty, innovative guitar that is melodic and always listenable. Ribot's guitar playing is at the heart of every tune and carries the weight of this mostly instrumental album. The Cuban style echoes Manuel Galban but is (not surprisingly) less traditional. This album will satisfy people who love guitar and enjoy ...             Copland: Appalachian Spring/Fanfare For The Common Man/El Salón México/Danzón Cubano11 reviews Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, ... Sony, 1990 Universal music This recording, aside of bringing back great memories of a live performance of Mr. Bernstein more than 25 years ago directing Mexico State Philarmonic Orchestra playing Salon Mexico, is of grand quality and Aaron Coplands music selection is escellent as is performed and recorded. My mom (77) and my daughter (8) enjoy it just the same.             A Lo Cubano51 reviews Orishas Universal Latino, 2000 Buenisimo! I recently bought this CD and love it! I was familiar w/many of the songs but am so happy to have them all on one CD...This is one of those CD's that you can't get enough of-Love to see them live...saw the recent concert in Cuba- wonderful performance! I highly recommend the CD! Enjoy a lo Cubano....             The Copland Collection: Orchestral & Ballet Works, 1936-19486 reviews Benny Goodman, Aaron Copland, ... Sony, 1991 Aaron Copland: Populist and Conductor If you want a prime collection of Copland's more accessible works, this is it. Yes, it's true that Bernstein's recordings of individual pieces are often bolder and livelier; but this set offers the composer's own authoritative view of his work, and for that reason alone it is priceless. In addition, it includes virtually all the orchestral pieces he composed during his "populist phase," from El ...             Great American Showpieces1 review Various Artists Capitol, 1992 A GATHERING OF GENIUS Angel Records knows how to assemble All-Stars--composers and conductors--to put together a harmonious blend of the best that America has produced. Every cut is supremely satisfying . . . background music to wile away a sunny Sunday afternoon -- or for the car CD player to send your mind off into fields of green and golden sunsets -- even in the most annoying traffic.             Brouwer: Sonata; Hika; Suite No. 23 reviews Leo Brouwer, Graham Anthony Devine Naxos, 2003 Brouwer Vol III Graham Anthony Devine is certainly one of the finest guitarists to come out of England in recent years. Some have said he is a "modern-day Julian Bream for the next generation"; perhaps an overstatement, but still a good measure of his growing reputation. The music on this CD is relatively unfamiliar. My own favorites would have to be the Suite #2, Hika, and Una Dia en Noviembre. These are ...             Cafe Cubano1 review Jack Jezzro Village Square, 2007 South of the border swing Bought this CD on a chance. Glad I did! Really like that Cuban influence in music, I think they really honored those old classics in a great way. The old chevy on the cover brings back memories too.             Muy Divertido!14 reviews Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos Postizos Atlantic / Wea, 2000 carlos who? This review is in response to to the guy who calls the "typical" jazz guitar tone "thin" and "icy". does this guy have ears? JAzzers play huge fat hollowbodies for a reason..... big fat tone!!! also, who is the one who hired britney spears' #1 fan to write reviews for amazon? To say santana layed the groundwork for this album is musically ignorant. Comparing marc ribot's playing to ...             World Is Africa1 review, ... Universal Music Special Products / Hear Music, 2009 Afropop Worldwide "World is Africa" is a savory,varied compilation of African music, from Ethiopian jazz to the stirring vocals of late South African diva Miriam Makeba. What makes it distinctive is that there are plenty of instrumentals. There are well-known singers like Mali's Amadou and Mariam, Wasis Diop, and Salif Keita. "World is Africa" is like a heady Kenyan coffee, or sweet chocolate from Sierra Leone. ...             La Tremenda Corte: Un Éxito Radial Cubano de Más de Cinco Décadas, Vol. 11 review Various Artists Seyer Records, 2005 Un buen Fabulosidio The memories of sitting around the table, near the radio and listening to the fabulosisimos fabulosidios of Tres Patines bring delightful, yet nostalgic, sabor to many of my friend's and relative's hearts. Highly recommended not only for those who grew up listening to La Tremenda Corte, but also for those who would like to taste a little of the humor that flavored and continues to season our ...             Lecuona Sinfónica / Morton Gould and His Orchestra3 reviews Ernesto Lecuon, Morton Gould and His Orchestra RCA, 1997 Acquire this ; you will be eternally rewarded! The inspired moods in which Morton Gould and his orchestra were inmersed when this recording was made was simply anthologic . Gould literally caught the perfect balance and the idomatism of Ernesto Lecuona , a cuban composer and author of Malagueña An emblematic song played for artists of the high of Paco de Lucia , Carlos Montoya , Jose Feliciano and the most famous orchestras of the world as ...             Lagq: Latin6 reviews Los Angeles Guitar Quartet Telarc, 2002 Best CD since Labyrinth Fantastic. I was very pleased with this CD. The playing was fantastic as expected. However, what I like most is the arrangements. The arrangements are not typical of Classical musicians. No doubt this is because of Andrew York and John Dearman's versatilty in a wide range of musical styles. Also, it doesn't hurt that Bill Kanangiser and Scott Tenant are among the finest Clasical Guitarists ...             Brouwer: Guitar Music, Vol. 23 reviews Leo Brouwer, Elena Papandreou Naxos, 2002 the way brouwer meant it to sound Brouwer himself states that Papandreou preforms his works the way they're supposed to, and I totally aggree! Papandreou has a great sonority, an unbelievably balanced and astonishing technique, and most of all a profound interpretation. Brouwer himself once stated in an interview that his music is really easy to interpret, if you just play what he mentions in his partitures. Of course this is a ...             Breathe: The Relaxing Guitar2 reviews Peter Maxwell Davies, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Telarc, 2005 Relaxing guitar I bought this CD especially for "Farewell to Stromness," a piece written by knighted Peter Maxwell Davies, transcribed for guitar by Timothy Walker, and performed by David Russell. The piece is of a Scottish folktune, and written as part of a successful grass-roots resistence to the potential destruction of the picturesque town of Stromness in the Orkney islands in Scotland.
