As a collection this is pretty much self-recommending. It assembles Rodrigo's concertos for one (Aranjuez), two (Madrigal) and four (Andaluz) guitars into one place. The playing time is generous and the notes are adequate though it is a pity that the works have not been dated. The sound is close-up and this applies not just to the guitars. The orchestra is very powerfully projected - tantamount to overpowering during climaxes. This is for Rodrigo-ists who prefer intensity and potent drama over chamber intimacy and restraint…

Andrea Parodi & Al Di Meola - Midsummer night in Sardinia - 2004
Jazz Folk | EAC Rip | FLAC, Cue, Log | Cover 600 dpi | 480 Mb

For who hasn't heard of Andrea Parodi before, he was the lead singer of a folk-pop group (Tazenda) that had a brief moment of success in Italy in the early 90s. His unique voice and the folk themes sung in Sardinian make him more belonging to world music. In this album Al di meola rediscovers the european and mainly Spanish influences that are very evident on Friday Night in SF. The quality of the recording, taking into account that it's a live album, is excellent and remarkable.
"Amargura" is a Sardinian folk song acccompanied by the classical flamenco-stylish guitar and sung by Sandra Ligas (uncredited) together with Andrea. "Umbras" is a jazz-folk piece, full of unusual passages, changes in tempo and tonality. For jazz-prog lovers and not only. a 5-stars track..

Iglesias started his career in the mid-1990s on an American Spanish Language record label Fonovisa which helped turn him into one of the biggest stars in Latin America and the Hispanic Market in the United States becoming the biggest seller of Spanish-language albums of that decade. He has also credited his niece, Natalia Elisa Iglesias for inspiring him throughout his musical career. He made a successful crossover into the mainstream market and signed a multi-album deal with Universal Music Group for an unprecedented US $48,000,000 with Universal Music Latino to release his Spanish albums and Interscope to release English albums. In 2010, he parted with Interscope and signed with another Universal Music Group label, Universal Republic.

Javier Vargas from Spain has long been one of the blues/rock world's best kept secrets. He has produced 8 very fine recordings, with a ninth being a greatest hits collection, but has never seemed quite able to gain the attention of a lot of North American fans. That was, until now…
