Very, very bad CD

"Kurt Schneeweiss is very strange guitarist. I bought his whole collection (7CDs) "Anthology of Classical Guitar", because the repertoire was very rich, when I saw the cover. I think that he has very good technique but NO FEELING. I also hate his altering most of the pieces. You must listen to it and then you will know what I mean. I think that the worst pieces in his presentation are (in the whole collection): Etude No. 17 by F.Sor, Asturias by I.Albeniz, many of his transcriptions from S.L.Weiss and many others. On the other hand, there are also few quite good pieces: Granada by I.Albeniz, Maxixa by A.Barrios. His collection is really very cheap, but if I can advice you - rather buy some more expensive, but also more quality."

"All of his collection are wonderful examples of how NOT to play these pieces! If you want to hear how they should be played, check out David Russell, Manuel Barrueco or (usually) Julian Bream or Andres Segovia performances."
