NOUVEAU FLAMENCO, Ottmar Liebert's debut album, was a tremendous success upon its release in 1990; it went platinum, and paved the way for Liebert's popularity in both the New Age and mainstream markets. On the tenth anniversary of the album, Higher Octave Records re-mixed, re-mastered, and re-released NOUVEAU FLAMENCO, adding five previously unreleased tracks. Higher Octave's re-release testifies to the strength of the album's original vision, and establishes its legacy for the years to come.
To his talents as a traditional flamenco guitarist Liebert adds touches of world music (light, Latin beats characterize much of the album), jazzy flourishes, and a sense of pop accessibility. As an instrumentalist Liebert is smooth and sensual, coaxing subdued, passionate melodies from his acoustic with elegance and feeling. While flamenco purists might take issue with Liebert's cross-cultural, commercial take on the genre, Liebert has the distinction of introducing the music's vocabulary to mainstream America. The re-issue of NOUVEAU FLAMENCO is a fine example of the artist's sultry craft.
This special edition of NOUVEAU FLAMENCO has been digitally remastered, contains new mixes and features five previously unreleased tracks.

Delice, Harmony, Freshness Ottmar, the quiet guitarist. His music is fluid, natural, and perfect for cruising on the dream highway, while working, or anything...no words to unfocus your mind...The notes are like rain drops in your "spanish" garden. I love it, you will too! This album is an overview of his career...Try this one and the former albums too...you may find the same titles but differently interpreted...Let your energies dance with his music. Enjoy! I am longing to seeing him live!
Totally in love (with the music, not him, I don't know him that well, LOL)
