Free Music Notes for From the Jungles of Paraguay: John Williams Plays Barrios
Free Music Review: Why did he re-record the same Barrios pieces?
Hit: 3 Stars
This is definitely an excellent CD, but why did John Williams simply re-record most of the same Barrios compositions as he did on his 1977 Masterworks recording? Barrios wrote hundreds of wonderful pieces for the guitar, and more of these need to be brought to light.
If you want to hear the ultimate Barrios recording available, you must get Barrios' own recordings on the German Chantarelle label, a 3-CD set. On the first 2 discs, Barrios himself plays 40 of his own works! The recording quality varies, though, and is never HiFi. The recordings from the 1910's are poor quality, the early to mid 20's ones are a bit better (acoustical). But the mid to late 20's (electrical) recordings are quite good. Barrios' music and playing are so good that all these recordings (to my ears) transcend the sound quality and are well worth listening to, not just as a historical document, but as a wonderful musical experience! There are 4 recordings done on a home recorder in 1942 whose sound quality is so poor, they are absolutely unlistenable (at least at the beginning of one of these pieces, you get to hear the great man speak!). On the 3rd disc, Barrios plays works by others (Beethoven, Bach, Tarrega, Sor, Schumann, and others). The disc to get!
