CD Reviews

One of the best flamenco albums around
Mr. Stuart Robert Harris | Bradford-on-Avon, UK | 04/18/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"What do you want from a flamenco album? If it's virtuoso guitar playing, you're in luck because Tauromagia features the poised eloquence of Manolo Sanlucar and the sheer dazzle of a young Vicente Amigo playing off each other to deliver some inspired, breath-taking moments, both fast and slow. If it's dramatic solo singers pouring their heart out, you've got it. Or maybe some foot-stomping party music with full-throated flamenco women singing and clapping. Look no furtherTauromagia achieves the remarkable feat appealing to casual listeners - the sort that go for Ottmar Liebert - and also satisfying real flamenco aficionados. The recording is sharp, clear and detailed and just crackles with a sense of place. It's guaranteed to delight, whether your preference is the usual tourist spots of southern Spain or the more esoteric delights of deep Andalucia.An authoritative flamenco source has quoted it as "en su globalidad, el mejor disco de guitarra flamenca jamás grabado" (all in all the best record of flamenco guitar ever recorded). Exactamundo."
Among the finest
Theodosios | ON, Canada | 10/24/2006

"This album is a must-own for any fan of flamenco guitar. Manolo Sanlucar, along with Paco de Lucia, is at the forefront of modern flamenco playing. Tauromagia, is in my opinion, his best album. It combines the best of his early traditional playing with some of the wonderful melodic ideas and colours later in his carer. The writing is very strong, and while incorporating many layers, choirs, effects, etc, it is far from overproduced. His playing is very tasteful and poetic and his technique obviously beyond question. A real treasure here."
Superb

"Not just a great flamenco guitar album ... but a great flamenco album, period. The singers are wonderful (including Jose Merce), the production is crystal clear, and all the instruments are used tastefully unlike some flamnco albums, where voice and guitar are drowned out by over-instrumentation. I still listen to this frequently, even after owning it for well over 10 years. It's that varied, that deep, that multi-faceted, that good. Olé!"
