Free Music Notes for Flamenco Guitar Music of Ramon Montoya & Nino Ricardo
Free Music Review: A tribute to his roots
Hit: 5 Stars
I contributed the cover photograph* and some of the booklet notes for this album, so I refrain from comment on the quality of the playing or the recordings. But here is some additional info that I hope will be of interest.
Ram?n Montoya and Ni?o Ricardo were two giants of flamenco, and Paco's earliest influences. Paco remembers being taken by his father to see Montoya, and what a tremendous impression the concert made on him; Paco must have been very young indeed, for Montoya died in 1949. Ricardo was of course also a major influence on Paco de Luc?a.
Paco and I did some of the transcriptions for this album together. At that time, neither Montoya's nor Ricardo's recordings were easily available, and Ricardo's still aren't, although both have now appeared in the Chant du Monde Grands Figures du Flamenco series. The bulk of Montoya's solo recordings were made in Paris in 1936.
You may or may not be familiar with the flamenco concept of comp?s. What this amounts to is that danceable flamenco forms have to fit into a fixed traditional rhythmic structure, so that a dancer and a guitarist can improvise together, and each will know within certain limits what the other one will do.
What is strange is that although in his recordings with singers Montoya's comp?s was immaculate, in his solo recordings (of which there aren't many) it was not infrequently all over the place. Various theories (such as pure absent-mindedness) have been advanced to account for this, none entirely convincing.
The reason I mention all this, is that for this recording, rather than copy Montoya's originals slavishly, Paco adjusted these pieces to put them back into comp?s.
This album has now been combined with Azahara to form the double album Flamenco Guitar, and is also available in surround sound (along with the Misa Flamenca) on Surround Yourself with Paco Pe?a.
*For those interested in such matters, it was taken in 1982 at an old inn, the Posada del Potro in C?rdoba, while Paco was preparing to shoot a Spanish Television program about him. Tokina 28-80mm zoom.
