Title: Amateur Album
Product review: The two best things about this album are the lovely cover picture and the fine recorded sound. The playing is mostly amateur. The lead guitar has some ability but the other three are playing simply and without any flair or dexterity or professional agility whatsoever. The pieces are all slow and I cannot believe four guitars are actually playing as any TWO professional classical guitarists would be able to play these easy arrangements at sight. The four here must each be playing just one note at a time. Yes the songs sound gentle and relaxing but my first year students could have played three of these guitars as well as these guitarists. The one piece with some interest is the final track of the Arcangelo Corelli Christmas Concerto, which isn't even credited to Corelli on the CD which states "All songs traditional". Skip this unless you have no appreciation of really good classical guitar and just want background Christmas music.
