rating: 3 QuoteClassical Solo GuitarQuote
When I purchased Liona's 'Camino Latina' album, I loved it so much, I thought I'd give this one a try. With a title 'The Spanish Album', I thought it might be similar. I was wrong. This album is solo classical guitar.. no background music accompaniment.
If you a guitar student, you might like her intricate, detailed playing.
But probably not a good choice for the average listener who is looking for some pleasant easy listening music. To me, the music just sounds dark and drab... Personally, I prefer the 'nuevo flamenco' sound, with the percussion and backup music with bass and maybe some flute, and most importantly, with a pleasant, upbeat melody... more like Liona's Camino Latina album, which I highly recommend.

This is great! Great music. Great Artist. I "discovered" L. Boyd only recently (where have I been??). Her playing is so smooth and passionate. You can not go wrong with this CD. August 9, 2007

It's interesting, I think, to note how Miss Boyd's style and technique seem to polarise the current reviews for her album "The Spanish Album". I certainly wasn't aware that Miss Boyd is regarded as "a light weight" in the classical guitar world.

I can only say that as a humble amateur classical guitarist, I remain an avid admirer of her interpretation of several of the standard classics on this album.

Her virtuosity in Gran Jota has already been referred to: may I also single out the sweet expressiveness of her playing in Capricio Arabe (which I suggest cannot be matched by any other modern recording)as well as the fascinating discords in Asturias.

Yes, and I'm Clark Kent, reporter for a small town daily. Liona Boyd achieved her fame through non musical means. As a musician she leaves a great deal to be desired. Her technique is modest. Her interpretive skills are nonexistent. Proclaiming her "queen of classical guitar technique" is only revealing of one's ignorance. I only wish there was a zero star rating.

If you wish to hear the real McCoy I recommend Martha Masters. January 20, 2006
