Customer Reviews Worth Getting Just For the Granados Spanish Dance Alone Having them together on the same album, playing some of my favorite music is more than a treat; it is pure joy. Both Julian Bream and John Williams have been two of my favorites when it comes to classical guitar. What I love is the fact that even though both are masters in their own rights, they were able to blend together their individual styles into an ensemble to create a set of moods which enhances the musical experience. All are wonderful, but they saved the best for last, the hauntingly beautiful Spanish Dance No. 2 of Granados. This is music that will have you stopping what you are doing just to listen to it. (If you are listening to this in the car, pull over please!) Although I have heard this piece before done by other greats, in the hands of Bream and Williams, it has been raised to heavenly heights, leaving the listener in a state between tears and great joy. In summary, if you wish to own just one guitar album in your collection, this would be the one. My greatest regret is that I never had the pleasure of hearing either of them live on stage. The next best thing is this album. Together, first time Either of the guitarists at their peak (this was recorded in '71 and '78) would have been good enough to amaze you if you are a follower of the guitar and its traditional music, both of them together is something that must be heard. Two of the classical guitar's brightest masters together for traditional as well as transcribed works from a number of different composers. The recording is excellent (ADD - remastered, I believe, in '93) and the selection of music plays to their strengths as individual musicians. To hear these two rivals play together at the same time is enlightening. Essential. Masters They are the greatest masters. Whoever would like to study or interest in classical guitar must listen to this record. ALGIN EROZAN. .
