Excellent flamenco guitar playing

"This CD contains excellent guitar playing from an old master. Serrano is one of the greatest flamenco guitarists to pick up the instrument. However his recordings can be hard to find in the United States, so this CD is most welcome. He plays with passion, fire and beauty. Also features percussion and a second guitar on some tracks, which add exciting textures and sounds to the proceedings."

Where's the producer?

"Been an avid flamenco fan and having listened to the recordings of Juan Serrano through his books, I might said that this recording is not exciting I consider his performance rather sloppy without a clear direction. He is joined with a second guitar and percussion throughout the whole album. It starts with a rumba wich is actually a mixed version of a Sabicas's rumba and Paco de Lucia's Entre 2 aguas. Then there are tarantas, fandangos and certain titles uncommon like Danzon, Bolero and Romance which are again met with the same lack of production problem. The more exciting number is Panaderos which is a brilliant interpretation of the famous title from Manolo Sanlucar"
