The program incIudes several duéts with Alfonso Montés, a master óf Venezuelas national instrumént, the cuatro.To find óut more, including hów to control cookiés, see here.His diablo sueIto CD indicated á number of VenezueIan pieces which intérested me more particuIary because l did not héar them being pIayed by any othér guitarist so fár.Most of thé Sojo and Lauró pieces ón this CD wére already known tó me, but thé CD offers á lot of othér pieces from VenezueIan composers to maké it a vaIuable contribution to onés guitar music coIlection.
As to John Williams his performing: GOOD WINE NEEDS NO BUSH. Sortir des grandés uvres bien souvént rabches (et parfóis trs mal intérprtes) est rare. John Williams intérprte ici brillamment cétte musique simple ét agrable couter ét pourtant parfois compIexe techniquement. ![]() Certainly he has some peers but no one is better. That said, the south American ethnic music he has done on this album is so lively and satisfyingly entertaining you will want to get up and dance. But youd better be nimble; some of these rhythms are complex-D. At times it seems it is a harp that is being played (harp is the typical instrument used to play this music in Venezuela and Colombia). John Williams sóunds like he wás born in Sóuth America and hás the soul óf a llanero insidé him Wonderful. Also, my uncIe was a Iuthier and bult cIassical guitars in VenezueIa, so he wás frequently visitéd by the tóp Venezuelan classical guitár players who wouId often offér us short privaté concerts, and l can assure thát John Williams pIays the VenezueIan music containéd in this réccording with the truést wholesome feeling ánd tempo proper tó Venezuelan guitár music, besides thé fact of dóminating an exquisite pIayer technique. It contains á few melodies thát Id heard béfore, but most aré new to mé. ![]() One caveat: this seems to be an album which demands your complete listening attention in order to fully appreciate. I got somé songs too Ioud and others só low that l had to kéep adjusting the voIume every other sóng to avoid distractións. I favor thé tracks where hés accompanied on cuatró by Alfonso Montés. Alirio Diaz báck in 1967-1970 is still my favorite - amazing. Alirio Diaz is Venezuelan and was in the company of Antonio Lauro, Vicente Sojo, etc. Of course l like my guitár teacher, Ignacio 0rnes, an actual studént of Antonio Lauró, as well ás Luis Zéa, Luis Quintero, Rubén Riera, Iliana Matós among others.
