Customer Reviews A wonderful journey Every track could have been recorded as a solo performance and worked very well. The guitar performance is as good as it gets. The percussion and saxophone enrich the context and move the performance into something more than just music. After listening you feel like you've just enjoyed something wonderful and at the same time you've been educated without realizing it! After listening you understand something about Latin American music that you didn't before. . my introduction to the classical guitar technique This disc was my introduction to the sound of a classical guitar, and I found that the path Sharon Isbin took from more classical repertoire suited her style well. The Journey to the Amazon does just what the title suggests, taking you on an melodious adventure of guitar and local instruments and rhythms. I may not have liked the sound of classical guitar at all if I had first listened to it in a more traditional genre. Mesmerizing!! You can close your eyes and feel transported to a lovely other-worldly place full of graceful Latin/Brazilian rhythms. This CD was my first exposure to Sharon Isbin, and I am absolutely mesmerized by it!! The music is beautiful, lyrical and moving. .
