CD Reviews

Mozart never composed for the guitar, but. . . .
Robert N. Anderson | Columbia Heights, MN USA | 03/10/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Giuliani sure must have studied Mozart because, if you like Mozart(and who doesn't), you will like Giuliani. These CDs are a good bargain and a pleasant introduction to the music of Mauro Giuliani. The recording is relatively old(1975-1978 ADD) but the performances are fine(Pepe Romero in my mind is the best in the world today) and so is the sound.A fine addition to anyone's classical CD collection."
Truly UNIQUE Classical Guitar
Frank Fisher Moore II | Denton, TX United States | 12/13/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I first heard the Guitar Concerti Nos. 1 & 2 on an old cassette tape from the Musical Heritage Society. This compilation from Philips Classics presents not only these but the Concerto No. 3 as well.



Additionally, there are several other Giuliani works for Guitar & Orchestra, solo Guitar pieces, and the "Variazioni Concertanti", a duet with Celedonio Romero.



These compositions are rarely performed or recorded. Giuliani's works are UNIQUE among the genre of Classical Guitar composition... reflecting as they do, that transitional period between the "Classic" and the "Romantic".



Any devotee of Classical Guitar music who is not aware of Giuliani's work, is truly missing something!!!"
A great classical guitar CD set
Tony Velasquez | 05/06/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I am a fan of guitar music, and tried out this 2 CD set after hearing it on radio. The music is very good and the guitar is accompanied by a complete orchestra (none other than the immortal Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields). But to be sure, this is classical guitar, and not folk guitar music. I enjoyed this CD very much, but it is not like Spanish guitar or the works of John Williams (the guitar player, not the movie composer). However, if you are a fan of the guitar, as I am, it will be long before you tire of this CD."
