I used to have the Great Masters of Flamenco, Vol. 5 but was stolen. If I'm to buy again, which one should I get - the 16-track Great Masters of Flamenco, Vol. 5 or Flamenco 1924-1936 which has 20 on two CDs, or even both if there are not too many overlapping tracks?

I have the Chant Du Monde Ramon Montoya compilation, and i would not reccomend it. The Chant Du Monde series is amazing, it has provided us with the definitive compilations of Ricardo and Sabicas, and it has made a wonderful legacy for the old cantaores
But the Montoya album is made of very, very worn 78s. I understand that if you put an album made of 78s records you won´t expect pristine sound quality, but some labels have made almost miracles out of this 78s (Has anyone ever heard a YAZZO label blues cd-made from 78s before 1929)
I personally prefer the Sonifolk edition http://www.sonifolk.com/iflam17.htm
No, it´s not one of those reissues where they take the noise out and leave a lifeless and dull recording. They are noisy and old, but have a "depth" that i don´t find on the Chant Du Mone compilation. And being a 2cd compilation, it leaves space for some Chacon duets and even some other duets with Saxophonist Fernando Vilches! You tought Paco invented flamenco jazz fusion? Wrong! Jaja

Thanks. I remember the quality of the Chant du Monde is quite bad due to the age of the recordings, I may try the other one.

Thanks. I'll check that out as well.



Ricardo -> RE: Which Ramon Montoya CD to get? (Nov. 29 2014 23:10:10)

I like his playing for Juanito Mojama. Of course his work with Chacon is legendary. The 2CD complete recordings (solo guitar plus one chacon and a couple sax duets and some guitar duets) is very good but has a couple of skips from record scratches (more noticeable if you have the Faucher score).

what a strange question .. you buy what you think you will like , not what someone that you really dont know likes ...
this is a bit of a non thread ...i dont know what you like .. nor does anyone else ...

you heed a review or not ...

you talking about 1924 ....you should be able to find out if you want thsi or not by ow .....
