Los Romeros - Guitar Concerti - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Groundskeeping is the 3rd LP of ambient and modern classical works from composer Kenneth James Gibson. Decaying string arrangements, haunted piano melodies, hypnotic synthesizers, choral voices, hissing organs, and textured guitars play with melancholy and darkness while somehow staying hopeful. Sculpted in his cabin studio in the San Jacinto Mountains, Gibson captures the sound of previous work, but with greater expansiveness and detailed emotion. Kranky band Less Bells make guest appearances.

Classical Treasures - Spanish Guitar [COMPACT DISCS] Digipack Packaging date 03/25/2014

Federico Moreno Torroba composed about one hundred works for the guitar, thereby reinforcing his status as one of Spain's great twentieth-century composers. Homenaje a la seguidilla pays lively tribute to that characteristically Spanish song and dance, while the Tonada concertante is in turns playful and introspective. Concierto de Castilla features a free-spirited lyricism evocative of the folklore of Castile, a vast expanse in the middle of Spain with which the composer strongly identified. InchYou would expect Pepe Romero to excel at the Concierto en Flamenco... The piece is gorgeous, the performance vibrant and passionate... The soloist in Dialogos is Romero's gifted pupil, Vicente Coves, who plays as well as his mentor, and whose brother leads the orchestra vividly and sympathetically. Inch (ClassicsToday.
