1.In Memoriam: Takemitsu - Guitar Works from: Denon Records September 16, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $26.45
The first thing you should know about this CD is that Fukuda was friends with Takemitsu and got a lot of advice about performance. A skilled performer getting advice from the composer often turns out better than the performer trying to perform his/her own work. These are performances as informed by Takemitsu's intentions as humanly possible. The pop song arrangements are a bit syrupy for my taste but there's still the great arrangement of "Summertime" even in that set. Fukuda's performance of All in Twilight is the best I've heard so far. I haven't heard other performances of Folios or Equinox but the performances seem equally good and I've heard enough Takemitsu performances to trust that these are probably the best performances available on CD. The last track isn't ... Read More

10.From Yesterday to Penny Lane: Contemporary Works for Solo Guitar and Guitar & Orchestra from: Concord Records October 08, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.50
Are you a fan of acoustic guitar? Or maybe acoustic guitar backed by an orchestra? If you are, this cd is for you. Carlos Barbosa-Lima weds his guitar to some old standards, bring lovely new sounds out of the familiar melodies. There are, of course, seven Beatles songs that are done with acoustic guitar and string orchestra. How they manage to breathe new life into "Yesterday" (which I believe is the _most_ recorded song_ever-) is amazing. It still has the yearning in the music but it's shaded by something a little different than the usual recordings of this song. I especially liked "Here, There & Everywhere", which might be my favorite Beatles song of all time. Here the guitar and string orchestra make the song vibrate anew with the wonderful feeling of love. But, ... Read More
