Free Music Review: Superb baroque music festival for the guitar
Hit: 5 Stars
I have most of these pieces on a book of Essential Classical Guitar, as I'm picking up the instrument again. This is not only an enlightnening CD, it's just great music, very well played. I can compare some of the pieces to other recordings in compilations, also very well played. But Julian Bream breathes, does not put the accent on virtuosity but more on musical phrasing, takes a slightly slower tempo sometimes (the lovely Bach prelude in d). I love playing it on my iPod in the background, it soothes me while I'm doing mechanical work. All the CD is worth it, esp. at this price. I would've paid full price for it. Unlike other reviewers, I'm not at all bothered by the recording quality, it's perfectly adequate; although there is no attempt to dissimulate the hiss due to shifting between positions, there isn't as much of it to disrupt listening, and the sound is otherwise rich and full with harmonies. In fact, the (very occasional) hissing enhances the "real" aspect of the recording so I don't mind. I hear them too when I play (although I'm not an advanced player by any means). The most dynamic pieces (Sanz' Canarios, Bach's Prelude and fugue, Weiss' Fantasy, Bach's suite allemande, bourree and gigue) alternate with more pensive, almost lethargic pieces by de Visee. Overall, this is a great CD that I put among the top five or six in my classical guitar collection. Also "Essential Guitar" compilation has some of these pieces and more romantic and 19th century pieces, if you want to compare. I also highly recommend that CD.
