   This is a very heart felt CD with emotion and love. You could tell Mr.Romero felt every note that he played. I recommend This CD highly.

   This a wonderful melange of selections that will please every devotee of classical guitar.

   I have been a fan of the Romeros for over 30 years. Pepe is now in his 60′s and is as great as he ever was.

   His father left a blessed legacy to the world when he shared his love of classical guitar and his incredible talent with his sons.

   Angel has taken another route in music. But Pepe chose to stay with the guitar and the musical world has been and continues to be enriched by him.

   Pepe Romero’s tribute to his late father Celedonio is not only a beautiful celebration of the life of one of the most important guitarists ever, but a great triumph simply on the merits of the pieces presented and the performances thereof. Of particular interest are the heartfelt renderings of transcriptions of piano works by Schumann, Brahms, Schubert and Chopin; while the Romero family has always taken pains to make sure the world has the opportunity to enjoy the riches of the Spanish guitar repetoire, Pepe’s beautiful performances of the transcriptions referred to above allow him to display the full breadth of his musical understanding. Wonderful!

   An inspiring, emotional tribute of repertory taught to Pepe Romero by his late father, Celedonio, who himself was an incredible guitarist and composer. Flawless technique, combined with Spanish heart and soul, set a standard for all other guitarists to emulate. Repertory ranges from beginning guitar pieces to flamenco-inspired pieces by his father. Also includes everything from Bach, Brahms, and Chopin to Spanish composer Moreno Torroba.

   I can’t add too much to what as already been said in praise of this wonderful CD. Pepe is brilliant. I recently saw him in concert and his confidence with the instrument blew me away. I have never seen such confident, fluid, beautiful movement on the classical guitar. And it comes out in the music.

   Emotionally stunning, technically flawless, Pepe is the best and this is my favorite classical guitar record.
