Customer Reviews WOW! Great Artist. This is great! Great music. I "discovered" L. Boyd only recently (where have I been??). Her playing is so smooth and passionate. You can not go wrong with this CD. Liona Boyd I certainly wasn't aware that Miss Boyd is regarded as "a light weight" in the classical guitar world. It's interesting, I think, to note how Miss Boyd's style and technique seem to polarise the current reviews for her album "The Spanish Album". I can only say that as a humble amateur classical guitarist, I remain an avid admirer of her interpretation of several of the standard classics on this album. Her virtuosity in Gran Jota has already been referred to: may I also single out the sweet expressiveness of her playing in Capricio Arabe (which I suggest cannot be matched by any other modern recording)as well as the fascinating discords in Asturias. . Liona is the Queen of Classical Guitar Technique????? Liona Boyd achieved her fame through non musical means. Yes, and I'm Clark Kent, reporter for a small town daily. As a musician she leaves a great deal to be desired. Her technique is modest. Her interpretive skills are nonexistent. Proclaiming her "queen of classical guitar technique" is only revealing of one's ignorance. I only wish there was a zero star rating. If you wish to hear the real McCoy I recommend Martha Masters. .
