Spanish Legends

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
These 65 minutes of solo guitar playing--handsomely, intimately recorded--are a pleasure to listen to. Russell is a true virtuoso, playing with an ease and assurance which gives the recital the great subtle, variety it should have. He's equally at home with the catchy, playful "Zapateado" by De La Maza that opens the program as he is with Llobet's lyrical, singable, relaxed "El testament d'Amelia." The beautiful, lullaby-like "La filla del Marxant" (also by Llobet) is as smooth as silk, and the four pieces by Andres Segovia have a flavor all their own. The downright odd, but alluringly discordant "El Abejorro" by Pujol will enchant and puzzle you. The program is songlike, dancelike, familiar and new-sounding, and Russell's graceful way with each style is ideal. Every note, every delicate harmonic, is audible and important, but there's never a sense of underlining either a melodic or rhythmic phrase. Russsell lets the music, diverse and fascinating, speak for itself. A must for those who love the classical guitar, especially with a Spanish flavor. --Robert Levine

Customer Reviews:

Fabulous CD.......2000-08-07

Passionate but poorly recorded.......2000-07-19

Unfortunately, the album also showcases other flamenco artists (which would be fine, but it is presented as an album of Camaron's work) and the recording quality is horrific...as though someone whipped out a cassette recorder at an in-home session. I don't believe anything was done to salvage the quality (some digital post-processing)

The saving grace of the CD is its passion, which I know I've said often in this review but it is almost palpable. I will check out other CD compilations and perhaps refer you to one of them.
