Many subtly varied kinds of music fall under the rubric of flamenco, which is a style of singing, dancing, and even living, as well as playing the guitar. This collection presents a good guitar selection, highlighted by the polished technique of Sabicas, the profundity of Manolo de Huelva, and the sheer brilliance of Melchor de Marchena. There is a drastic change of atmosphere in the transition from track 10 (a zapateado played by Nino Ricardo) to track 11: Manolo de Huelva accompanying the voice of Manuel Vallejo. Suddenly we are in a cuadro, the natural environment of flamenco, with a group of participants clapping, stamping their feet, and shouting encouragement to the musicians. No longer is it just a man sitting alone on a stage or in a studio, playing the guitar fluently and flawlessly; this is cante hondo, the heart of flamenco, intense and astringent, and the best of this disc's many flavors.

Masters of Flamenco Guitar is an excellent collection that showcases four masters of the art: Sabicas, Niño Ricardo, Manolo de Huelva, and Melchor de Marchena. Each guitarist is represented by a selection of live cuts that demonstrates his prodigious talent. Even casual listeners will be able to draw differences between each musician, since each has a unique style - Sabicas was both a songwriter and a player, Ricardo was often regarded as the finest accompanying guitarist in flamenco, de Huelva specialized in bulerías, and de Marchena was a gypsy accompanist. The beauty of Masters of Flamenco Guitar is how it allows even casual listeners to hear the differences between such styles, and as it does, it offers a good introduction to the entire genre.
