Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Spanish but not Flamenco
This is a clasical guitar album recorded by John Williams in his style of ultimate perfection. Don't confuse this with Flamenco Spanish guitar.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Brilliant in many ways

Favorites include Albeniz' "Cordoba", which has a marvelous "rasqueado", and the familiar but exciting "The Miller's Dance" by de Falla, but ... Read More:
