 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
Guitarist Edoardo Catemario offers absolutely lovely tone at all dynamic levels, and that makes the opening crescendo of the Concierto de Aranjuez, or the harp-like strumming in the same work's famous Adagio, remarkably sensual. He's also very well balanced against the orchestra, sounding neither too forward nor artificially placed in his own acoustic. There are many excellent versions of both the Rodrigo and Ponce's Concierto del Sur, these among them, but the Concierto Aguediano by Anton Garcia Abril is both the largest work here (31 minutes) and a real find that no lover of Spanish guitar music can afford to miss--certainly worth the price of the disc. Clearly written in the spirit of Rodrigo, the piece is at once more ambitious and more colorful, and Catemario obviously has a terrific time with it. Enrique Bátiz conducts with his customary energy and the orchestra responds accordingly. This fine collection deserves very serious consideration.
