Romero At His Best November 16, 2007
Florence Graving (Houston, TX USA)

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.
Essential listening for the guitar lover February 11, 2006

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!

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.
For the love of a father, and of the music they shared January 25, 2000

This CD, a collection of songs that Pepe Romero learned from and shared with his father, is a finely, wonderfully, lovingly crafted work evoking in the listener the emotions that the music brings to Mr. Romero. They are all songs played not as displays of technical skill, though the skill is impressive, but as celebrations of the joy and love that music and relationships can bring. Ranging from pieces by Bach to Pepe's father, Celedonio, there isn't a clinker in the bunch, and much to be savored sweetly on a sunny morning with a coffee in hand.
The greatest guitarist in the world.This CD again shows why! March 21, 1999

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.
