Editorial Reviews :
Born in Germany and boasting a Chinese-European heritage, Ottmar Liebert is a platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated acoustic guitarist, who is often lambasted as a purveyor of flamenco-lite. However, it is natural that so cosmopolitan a figure should express himself via mixed influences. His sound is a seamless--some might say homogenized--blend of Spanish and other Gypsy influences, incorporating American jazz and rock, New Age, and even Euro-pop. Liebert is indisputably a fine technician, with a weightless, fleet, mellow touch. Ten of these 12 tunes are brand-new versions of hits originally recorded during the 1990s, such as 'Barcelona Nights,' 'Snakecharmer,' and 'Dancing Under the Moon.' Whether these light instrumentals please is a matter of taste, but Luna Negra's arrangements would be more effective without the hackneyed keyboard vamps. Ultimately, fans of the Gipsy Kings, Ketama, and Strunk and Farah will enjoy themselves, but flamenco purists might prefer Ramon Montoya, Juan Martin, or Paco de Lucia. --Christina Roden
Buyer Reviews :
One can only summarize Liebert's techniques as universal. I happen to be quite a Libert aficionado and think this album represents a hands down best work he has ever down up to now. None of this guess work ~ you know who is playing from the very first chords, you're hooked. You want to immediately sign up for the 'Ottmar Libebert Fan Club', because you want more of the same.
I was completely swept away with 'SNAKECHARMER', vibrant and catchy tunes take you away for over an eight minute cue. Being a devoted fan, each track on this album is to savor 'TURKISH NIGHT', 'SAO PAULO' and 'DANCING UNDER THE MOON' ~ soft sensual and Latin American inspired acoustical guitar. You listen with eyes closed drifting from smooth laced mellow sounds of elegant yet riveting compositions.
Total Time: 67:37 on 12 Tracks ~ Higher Octave HOMCD-80961 ~ (2/25/2003)
