Music of Spain ReviewRecorded in 1981, this was the first-ever digital recording by a major classical guitarist, and Julian Bream didn't let the opportunity go to waste. Firstly, Bream's transcriptions of the piano scores are absolutely outstanding - the voicings in Albeniz's Mallorca, to name just one example, are far more logical and musically satisfying than any previous published edition, including Segovia's. Secondly, Bream's playing is so compelling that even though this recording must have entailed hundreds of edits, not once is one aware of the technical difficulties that underlay its production, surely the sign of a master artist at work. Thirdly, its stereo image (captured in the small stone chapel of Wardour Castle in Wiltshire) is glorious, for example in beautiful but fiendishly difficult "Maja de Goya" - Bream's sitting right there in front of you playing his heart out! Fourthly, the album was recorded on Bream's 1973 now legendary Jose Romanillos guitar, which fact launched the career of a great luthier. In summary, this album inspired a generation of classical guitarists the world over, myself included, and gave the classical guitar a whole new audience when the CD format first appeared. As the previous reviewer mentioned, the Navigator edition has extra tracks for less cost, but I prefer the original running order. A true masterpiece that stands the test of time, but make sure you audition this album through top-notch audio speakers or headset for best effect!Music of Spain Overview
