Album Description
All of the arrangements on this album were made by LAGQ members. Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite was arranged by Andrew York, who explains in the booklet notes that he first arranged part of the suite for two guitars, which worked musically but was hard to play. So, as he explains: "The ideal solution was to redo the work for guitar quartet, allowing a more complete translation of the complexities of the orchestral score, which could be balanced among four guitars. Two dances remain as duets -- the "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy," played here by Bill Kanengiser and Scott Tennant; and "Arabian Dance," in which John Dearman and I are the players."...

L.A. Guitar Quartet: Dances from Renaissance to Nutcracker

Guitarist John Williams (no, not John Williams the soundtrack composer) adds to his fine catalog of impeccable recordings with Classic Williams: Romance of the Guitar. But this isn't just a best-of collection (though some of his greatest work is included here) since the disc contains three new recordings. Among the new tracks, Fauré's Pavane is a real stunner, a short but gorgeous piece originally meant for orchestra and choir, where Williams's guitar sounds as though it always belonged there. We get Williams at his most interpretative--his arrangements of Satie's Gymnopedie No. 3 and Piazzolla tango Verano porteno--and his most serene (the "Cavatina" theme from the movie Deer Hunter). Let's face it, some fine classical guitarists can lull their listeners into near comatose states with their instrument; Williams, on the other hand, is just the opposite. His gorgeous tone, inventive arrangements, and interesting repertoire continue to make the classical guitar soun... Click For Great Discounts >>

The Acoustic Guitar Method

Album Description
The ten beautiful compositions and stunning guitar work that compose Baby Guitars are reminiscent of Ms. Wilson’s work on the musical scores of films such as Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous, and Vanilla Sky.  Two of the new CD’s songs, “Sun on the Rug” and “Every Snowflake,” are featured on her Elizabethtown score soundtrack album, and “Sun on the Rug” was prominently heard in the Hilary Swank movie P.S. I Love You.  Until now, the only people lucky enough to listen to the entire collection of lullabies were close family friends who were gifted with home-burned copies to commemorate the birth of their children.  The album’s adorable and colorful cover art was specially created by Ms. Wilson’s children for the CD. This product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.... Click For Great Discounts >>
