Summary: Flamenco CD review
Comment: There's a wee mistake on the first track--some dead air and garbling--but aside from that the CD is really first rate. I gave it to relatives for Xmas and they were quite enthusiastic. The low price sweetens it also.

Summary: Flamenco at it's best
Comment: I had seen Sabicas live in Spain in the early 60th and bought his vinyl record at that time. Listening to this CD brought back fond memories and over the years his playing had improved which almost seems to be impossible.
I highly recommend this CD to anyone who is interested in authentic flamenco.

Summary: Flawed package, great artist
Comment: It is a treat to hear Sabicas' unaccompanied guitar work, but the packaging is inexplicably careless. It's more than the problem of skipping on the first track, or its repetition. The last FIVE tracks are repetitions of earlier tracks, and the insert gives no information about the songs, their traditions, or the artist, a man with a very interesting story. The insert also only has a sadly patronizing little bit about "authentic" music, but nothing on what that this authenticity means or why it is so fascinating.

Summary: The Greatest Artist
Comment: I grew up listening to Sabicas on my father's old 78 rpm record. He had Segovia and some others but Sabicas was always his favorite and mine, too!Over the years, it has gotten misplaced so I am so excited to be able to give him Sebicas, the greatest artist for Christmas.

Summary: We're not worthy!
Comment: WOW!! Legendary playing of beautifully traditional songs. It's impossible to say anything negative about this disc either from a musician or listener view point. We are lucky to have recordings of a genious in action like this. surprisingly good production as well. yeah, the 1st track has a skip - who cares. six stars. Ole!!
