Customer Reviews High Spirited Performance " Both the performances and the recording quality are outstanding. The first 11 recordings from this CD are among my favorite of all guitar recordings, epecially "Sunburst," "Aconquija," "Verano Porteno," "Natalia," and "Cueca. I'm just not that fond of the last 7 compositions (except maybe "El Colibri"). Great Performance of American Music From the thrilling opening, "Sunburst" by Andrew York, through Mangore', Brouwer, and Charlie Byrd, the music is very well-chosen and impeccably performed. Williams records another great CD. Bursting with energy, South American dance rhythms or slow and melacholy, these are great pieces. This music goes in a completely different direction from, say, Bach or Scarlatti or Albeniz or Tarrega. It's the American sound in many of its guises. Wonderful music. One of my favorite classical guitar CD's (up there with "Parkening Plays Bach" and "Songs My Father Taught Me," by Pepe Romero. ). a good one The album is very good, it has music from every part of america, and as usual Williams offers a great level of performance. I don't understand anything of th other review of this album, but i don't belikeve it's as bad as it says. .
