Editorial Reviews
This recital gives a fascinating insight into the many influences on Cuban culture: among them 400 years of Spanish colonial rule and 60 years of exposure to North American culture prior to the 1959 revolution. The music ranges across Afro-Cuban rhythms.

Great performance by Marco Tamayo of Cuban pieces for classical guitar. If you love classical guitar but are tired of hearing the same repertoire over and over, this will be a refreshing change. Includes the definitive recording of Cancion de Cuna (IMHO).

I ordered this cd for my son, who is studying classical guitar. He loves the mellow tones and interesting rhythms. Although this music was recorded decades ago, good music never goes out of style.

This is a highly listenable recording from Naxos spotlighting the importance of Cuban solo guitar music. The talented guitarist is Marco Tamayo, and the selections reflect a compendium of the finest among Cuban composers: Ñico Rojas, the self taught guitarist, composer and leading figure in the filin (feeling) movement; Harold Gramatges, the prolific and much respected classical composer; Moisés Simons, the composer of the popular "El Manicero" ("The Peanut-Seller"), credited here to Edward Simons; and Leo Brouwer, an otherwise avant-garde experimentalist. Although many of the arrangements are within the soft-jazz, Earl Klugh-like space, the pieces do not belie their Cuban heritage and range from the traditional dance genres such as zapateo, guiajira and son pregón, through Rojas' jazz-influenced harmonies to Gramatges' neo-classical miniatures.
The tone can be at once seductive and then later inspirational, yet what remains consistent is Tamayo's delicate and assured playing, which beautifully conveys the gentle relaxed quality of these works, Some pieces stand alone, such as "El Manicero" (which some may recognize as a variation of the tropical song Judy Garland sang in the "Born in a Trunk" number in "A Star Is Born") or the "Preludio" (the theme from the film "Soy Cuba") and "Canción Triste" by Carlos Fariñas. The remainder function as part of short suites, for instance, the lovely canción-danza pairing by Aldo Rodriguez, which gives a nice structure to otherwise disparate musical styles. The last eight tracks represent an adaptation of Yoruba religious music by Hector Angulo. Quite beautiful and atmospheric on their own, these short pieces convey some intriguing rhythmic drive and complexity that seem odd for a guitar by itself to express. But the Cuban-born Tamayo (now teaching master classes in Salzburg at the Mozarteum) shows impressive dexterity in capturing such emotions on the guitar. As a whole, the album reveals a repertoire well worth discovering and another dimension of Cuban music beyond salsa and the Buena Vista Social Club. This is another of Naxos' discounted recordings ($6.98), an excellent purchase.

Face inconnue de Cuba

Je suis grand amateur de la guitare classique. Ici, on a finalement quelque chose de bien différent des oeuvres que l'on trouve habituellement dans les compilations de guitare classique. Cette musique est fraîche, pleine d'entrain et de nostalgie à la fois, reflétant toutes les contradictions de la culture cubaine. Je recommande sans hésitation. Les amateurs de haute virtuosité seront cependant déçus: ici, c'est l'expression et le climat émotif qui priment.

良盤
Reviewed in Japan on August 24, 2011
クラッシックギターに詳しいわけではありませんが、NAXOSのこのシリーズは、何れも良録音・演奏の質が高く・多種の国や作家を網羅・廉価であり、聴いて楽しむも良し、作曲家や国別・演奏家別に揃える等資料的な面でも高いレベルを持っていると思います。
問い合わせてみたらギターシリーズだけで100タイトル以上有るそうです。
星一つ減じたのは、同じタイトルでもEUプレスとカナダプレスでジャケットデザインが異なるので、大変ややこしい。
その点を除けば高評価です。
