Free Music Review: All Around Excellent
Hit: 4 Stars
I ordered this cd knowing that John Williams played my favorite version of Concierto de Aranjuez, so I was barely taking a chance on the rest. It's a great cd, all around! It is a little heavy and generally melancholy, but Williams' talent makes the melancholy desirable. Williams' version of Satie's Gymnopedie no. 3 is exquisite!
Classic Williams: Romance of the Guitar Poster
Guitarist John Williams (no, not John Williams the soundtrack composer) adds to his fine catalog of impeccable recordings with Classic Williams: Romance of the Guitar. But this isn't just a best-of collection (though some of his greatest work is included here) since the disc contains three new recordings. Among the new tracks, Faur?'s Pavane is a real stunner, a short but gorgeous piece originally meant for orchestra and choir, where Williams's guitar sounds as though it always belonged there. We get Williams at his most interpretative--his arrangements of Satie's Gymnopedie No. 3 and Piazzolla tango Verano porteno--and his most serene (the "Cavatina" theme from the movie Deer Hunter). Let's face it, some fine classical guitarists can lull their listeners into near comatose states with their instrument; Williams, on the other hand, is just the opposite. His gorgeous tone, inventive arrangements, and interesting repertoire continue to make the classical guitar sound exciting. In short, a great introduction to Williams and a real gem for lovers of classical guitar. --Jason VerlindeClassical Music CDs
