For WTW.

Had an album for years of Juan Martin's guitar homage to Pablo Picasso in music. He named all the numbers on it after Picasso paintings. This is Girls of Algiers. Still got the album, it's titled Picasso Portraits, but it's an LP . I found this on Youtube:

Thank you very much for this. I've seen Juan Martin live - both solo and with his equally impresive dance company. But I'd never heard him playing in such an exuberant jazz/near-pop mode before, obviously a celebratory interpretation of the painting...

Do you know this rather more sombre piece. It's juan martin's response to guernica. Moving. I'm going to post on the Art thread also.

I 've also seen Juan Martin several times over here, once at the Burnley Mechanics venue Bruce spoke about some way back. I've seen him solo and with his dance troup and, at the Manchester Apollo got to talk to him for a while. He signed a CD for me and discussed flamenco moving into a more modern era. He's not as well regarded in the flamenco world as he might be, partly I suspect because of his commercial success in other fields and his emergence in fusion. He's also not a Gypsy, which, in flamenco puro circles is a drawback. The piece you posted is either a Tarantos or a Granaina, two of the more sober flamenco forms. You should look out for the Picasso Portraits album as it's sure to be on DVD somewhere.

Ref Guernica, terrible as it was, sources claim the number of deaths as nearer 500 than stated. Carr's Spain 1808-1975, also claims that three battalions of Basques withdrew from the northern battle when Bilbao fell because the republicans had no planes.

Will. Just for interest, here's the man and the copy of his Camino Latino album he signed for me. This is the fusion-type stuff he did that caused such and uproar in puro flamenco circles. Really nice guy and a great guitarist.

Nick Drake's River Man, in homage to the newly-renamed Sir Nat

Although River Man's far from his most intricate, Drake is my stock reply to the stock "best guitarist ever?" question. Great video here...

Bruch's Violin Concerto no 1.

The Adagio close to sublime...

Brilliant.

This is absolutely magnificent. It was good on first listen and just keeps giving. If you liked Thirst For Romance then you're in for a treat here - they've moved on in terms of delivery in absolute leaps and bounds. You know when someone makes an incredibly good first series and then, having garnered more know-how and having the budget for better production, delivers an all together better and classier second series (think Blackadder)? Well this is what we have here (by way of musical comparison, obviously) in my opinion.

This really is the finished article.
