Latin, the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet's homage to the music of Latin America and Spain, opens weakly with a tune called "Fragile," a bit of melodic fluff composed by Sting. After that's safely out of the way, however, the four virtuosos go on to play much more satisfying works by such composers as Leo Brouwer from Cuba, Astor Piazolla from Argentina, Egberto Gismonti from Brazil, and Joaquin Rodrigo from Spain. The music ranges from the passionate, earthy flamenco of "Sevillanas" to the austere, almost abstract tone poem "Cuban Landscape with Rain" and on to the jazzy harmonies of "Forrobodo." The most exciting piece is the six-movement "Carmen Suite," which the quartet plays with a thrilling blend of passion and precision. But no matter how disparate the music, the impeccable technique, musical intelligence, and emotional delivery of John Dearman, William Kanengiser, Scott Tennant, and Andrew York find the common thread to tie it all together. --Michael Simmons

Best CD since Labyrinth.......2003-06-01

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 in history.

Disappointed.......2003-04-10

I'm a big fan of LAGQ but am somewhat disappointed with this CD. The playing is near flawless as usual, but I was expecting a more interesting selection of Latin pieces. One of the few exceptions on this CD is Aaron Copland's "Danza de Jalisco," which is arranged and performed marvelously by LAGQ. This group puts on some of the best concerts out there, but I find that many of their recordings lack the same excitement. The CD "LAGQ" (1997?) is an exception, with its variety and energetic performances.

Reconsider.......2003-02-15

Probably fine for the guitarist wanting to appreciate some good licks, but not pleasant or soothing music for listening. I gave mine away.

Latin Licks.......2003-01-31

This cd is awesome!!!

No wonder LAGQ: Latin was nominated for a Grammy as Best Classical Crossover Album.

this album rocks.......2002-10-12

the LAGQ again give us some suprise with this recent release. This is the second best version of Carmen Suite (second only to Romero's, but much better than Segovia Quartet's).
The whole album is full of Latin style and spanish favor.

Customer Reviews:

Of the Angels indeed!.......2003-08-28

Victoria de los Angeles is the most sensitive artist I have ever heard. She distinctly ranks among that rare breed who can give meaning through vocal colors, accent, and sensitivity to the beat simultaneously. She touches the heart by incorporating a folk quality to all she sings. Regine Crespin is the only other artist I can think of who rivals her in this capacity.

This CD is wonderful; the quality and the selections. When I was listening to de Falla's Siete Canciones Populares there was sudden applause after Polo, I was so surprised. The digital remastering is that superb and her artitry is so flawless as to suggest a studio recording.

There are artists who have a mission like La Callas or Price. There are artists who sing for the diva status like Bumbry.
There are artists who are duty bound like Milanov.

But there are also quiet artists who sing for the art itself as a medium of intense and sensual human expression, hiding in moonlight only to emerge with a message in hand and in voice. If this is your artist..........buy this CD.
