gshaviv -> Oscar Herrero latest CD - review (Feb. 17 2006 22:52:01)

Got OH latest CD "Abantos" and if I have to summarize it in one word I would say it boring. To elaborate in two words "very boring". This CD comes with a nice idea, it is actually a set of two CDs, the first one has the compositions played with a full ensemble (cante, precussion, etc.) and the 2nd CD has the same compositions in a solo guitar interpretation. I really liked his first two CDs (Torrente and Hechizo, Torrente being the better of the two). However, the best way to describe this one is it lacks soul. The playing is too technical in my taste with no feeling, no excitement, no aire. While OH takes care to make each note come out with exceptional clarity, its just too technical. Its like he paid attention to the mechanics of generating the sound but not to the feeling of the composition. That summarizes my impression of this CD.
