Customer Reviews:

A huge disapointment.......2004-12-01

Yes, this disc has some stunning music...about 2 minutes per selection of it. Sometimes a little more, but this is just a movement or so of each. I was thrilled to find Andrew Davis' version of The Polovstian Dances and found only a short choral section of it. It is a useful survey if you are a fledgeling listener to Russian classical music, but other than that, it is pretty useless for listening.

The true Russian spirit............2000-06-18

This CD has a wonderful combination of the best tunes Russia has to offer (under 10 minutes of course!). Folk tunes like Two Guitars and Dark Eyes add to the Russian spirit. Also a nice war-like tune by an unfamilar man by the name of Knipper. This is his only work that made it to the world of classical music. Many other works done nicely by Rimsky-Korsakov, Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, and many others who don't end with 'sky'. Very nice way to introduce you to the Russians. Buy it even if you know about the Russian works. There are a few 'one hitters' on this CD.

masters at work.......2003-04-30

John Carlini clearly shows his tastful phrasing is only surpassed by his technical mastery here. Tony Rice, a hot bluegrass flatpicker and David Grisman dawg music vet seems to be driven to new highs when pushed there by such skilled players as John or David. The rendition here of a previously recorded Grisman/Rice, dawg version of the tune Develin' is phrased in a super clean style influenced by Carlini. If you love acoustic flat picked guitar at its finest do not pass this one by.

Guitar Mastery Captured on disc.......2000-03-21

The recording of Tony Rice and John Carlini is excellent in many ways. It was recorded using a single stereo microphone, which make it sound like you're sitting in a room with Tony and John playing for you. Their talent is unsurpassed on guitar, making anyone who's ever played the guitar envious. If you're looking for a comforting, easy to listen to, collection of pure accoustic guitar. This CD should be first on your list. I've found that I can use it as background music for a small gathering, romantic background music, or I can sit and listen intently to the intricacies of each selection and constantly find something new to be impressed with on this CD.
