Title: Paco de Lucia's performance of Aranjuez
Review: I've only listened to the first movement of the Concierto de Aranjuez as played by Paco de Lucia, which is included in a Paco de Lucia anthology (thus I can only rate the first track of this CD, while not having heard the rest of the CD). Paco and the Orquesta de Cadaques really put the Spirito in the Allegro of the first movement. It's the best performance I've heard--full of rythmic energy and excitement. I think the flamenco guitar (I'm assuming that's the instrument Paco is playing) and technique are most suitable for the first movement. On the other hand, I suspect the classical guitar may be more suitable for the more famous second movement (John Williams' performance with the Seville Orchestra being my favorite).
Is the review positive or negative?
