"I really want to give 5 stars to this CD... "Concierto de Aranjuez" is extremely well played by John Williams, its also my introduction to his guitar; Very skillful. On the CD, If you are familiar with Aranjuez you'll notice that only first three tracks are related to the title; the rest will also satisfy your music aesthetics to some extent. :-) Overall, the album is extremely dominated by Orchestra that over-shadows the guitar and that is the reason i will not give this CD five stars. My recommendation, Rodrigo played by Paco de Lucia, if you really want to appreciate the work of Rodrigo and undeniable skills of Paco de lucia."

John Williams---something else.

"The first classical guitar album I bought was a Greatest Hits album of Williams that I picked up at the mall. On the way home, I listened to two songs. When I got into the driveway and stopped, "Astruias" finished up. I don't mind telling you that I actually started clapping. By myself. In my car. That is how good Williams is, and this is an amazing album. "Rodrigo: Concierto de Aranjuez" is wonderful, even though I have heard it, and played it myself, over and over. A true gift to those with any taste for music."
