Lagq Latin Classical Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Wonderful Music, Surround Sound Tour de Force
It doesn't get better than this. Every song is enjoyable, in wonderful arrangements. The recording is crystal clear. In the surround mix, each guitarist occupies one of the corner speakers. In the liner notes, they tell you who is where on each song. When I demo my system for friends, this is one of the first disks I reach for.

A wonderful SACD. I've been playing it over and over again. For those of you who like acoustic guitar, give this a listen.

Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon CD (1973) Remastered; Reissued; Sacd Hybrid

Lagq Latin

$16.15

This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. DARK SIDE OF THE MOON was a benchmark record. It turned the musical world on its ear with a hitherto unseen combination of sounds, and changed things considerably for Pink Floyd. For this project, Pink Floyd resurrected older and unfinished numbers, some of which came from the multitude of soundtracks the band members had previously worked on. The film ZABRISKIE POINT, a study of American materialism from a foreigner's perspective, provided "Us and Them" (originally titled "The Violence Sequence"). Waters rewrote "Breathe" after its appearance on his and avant-garde composer Ron Geesin's score for THE BODY, a surreal medical documentary. Floyd and their long-time engineer, Alan Parsons, used a multitude of sound effects--from stereophonically projected footsteps and planes flying overhead ("On the Run") to a roomful of ringing clocks ("Time"). Further adding to the record's mystique, barely audible spoken passages were sprinkled throughout--a result of hours interviewing random Abbey Road occupants about their views on insanity, violence, and death. Floyd must have struck a nerve: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON remained on Billboard's albums chart for an astounding 14 years. It made Pink Floyd a household name, elevating them to the level of the Rolling Stones and The Who in the rock pantheon. By condensing the sonic explorations of Meddle ...

Norah Jones Come Away With Me (2002) Super Audio CD

Lagq Latin

$17.39

COME AWAY WITH ME won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical). "Don't Know Why" won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Arif Mardin won the 2003 Grammy Award for Producer Of The Year (Non-Classical). This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. A direct descendant from the pedigree of one of the 20th century's virtuosos, Norah Jones might not be on such a lofty artistic level as her dad Ravi Shankar, but certainly inherited some musical intuition from him. With nary a sitar nor raga within earshot, the young newcomer sounds very much an assimilated, western, 21st century pop-jazz singer. One thing that separates her from the pack is Ms. Jones' own piano stylings--not flashy, but deftly doubling or echoing her voice--that discreetly act as the glue holding together these airy, delicate, and beautiful arrangements. But the centerpiece is certainly the 22-year-old's confident-beyond-her-years vocal delivery in addition to a precise diction ...

Los Angeles Guitar Lagq's Guitar Heroes CD (2004) Sacd Hybrid

Lagq Latin

$15.39

This album received the 2005 Grammy Award for "Best Classical Crossover Album. This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. The Los Angeles Guitar Quartet is not your typical classical ensemble. The group's open-minded, category-defying aesthetic is shaped by the diverse influences of its individual members. GUITAR HEROES pays homage to the musicians who inspired the foursome, an eclectic pantheon that includes jazz icons, finger-picking wizards, and rock legends, as well as artists from the classical mainstream. The ensemble honors many of its idols via imaginative arrangements of their heroes' works, notably a Brazilian-flavored version of Ralph Towner's classic "Icarus," a "nuevo flamenco" take on Yes guitarist Steve Howe's "Mood for a Day," and a deft medley of "Blue Ocean Echo" and "Country Gentleman" that would make Chet Atkins proud. Other six-string luminaries are celebrated through original compositions. Brian Head's "We Know You Know: Reverie for Mahavishnu" recalls John McLaughlin's groundbreaking ...

Herbie Hancock Gershwin's World CD (1998) Sacd Hybrid

Lagq Latin

$15.89

GERSHWIN'S WORLD won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Individual Or Group. "St. Louis Blues" won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocal(s). This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. The epitome of a 20th Century musician, Herbie Hancock has always traversed wildly divergent stylistic paths, finding his way easily into jazz, funk, fusion, dance-pop and more. His ability to make valid individual statements in all these genres is part of what makes his compositions and performances so rich. So it doesn't seem at all incongrous for Hancock to interpret the work of George Gershwin, redefining much of the Gershwin canon in the process (with assistance from some world-class compatriots). Hancock's stated aim for GERSHWIN'S WORLD is to get inside the pieces, illustrating their essence rather ...
