its somehow against too much muddle, or, i don't know how to explain, too many different sounds together. specially in modern compositions, a single guitar plays so much different nuances and details, that other sounds would overlap it and you can't even hear it with all its subtle details anymore.


Well put, I could not agree more enthusiastically, Arash.

As for any "Concerto" (meaning a designated instrument as soloist accompanied by an orchestra) I belive that it should be left to the classical instruments, this form of performance was created for, Violin, Cello, Piano, Winds, and basically any of the instruments which are part of the same Orchestra.

Guitars, either Classical or Flamenco, are not "orchestral" instruments and always found any of the pretty Guitar Concertos to represent a most unsuitable instrumental match.

I will buy Tomatito's CD regardless (as I did Vicente Amigo's orchestral exploits), but that has to do with my "ascetically dogmatic and unwavering brand loyalty" for both musicians.

Ramparts, when you state, "Well, so what if its no longer flamenco"?, I assume you are responding to my comment that, "the flamenco is diluted to an extent that it is no longer flamenco." I am glad to see that we are in agreement here. We both agree that it is no longer flamenco. The question then becomes, is it still worth listening to? And I think I answered that positively by stating that, "Orchestral music, accompanied by flamenco guitar, still sounds beautifully orchestral."

I don't see much of a gap between our positions on this matter.

Cheers,

Bill

Ketchup is not a fancy sauce...[;)]

I like the idea of strings in a mix but I just haven't heard it done well yet!

I don't listen to Vicente's Poema often because it's like listening to a film soundtrack without the visual.
