專輯介紹:
不論你對他印象是來自和John McLaughlin、Al Di Meola共同演出的《Friday Night In San Francisco》。，尤其在一趙南美之旅後帕可改進了佛朗明哥吉他的風格成爲獨樹一幟的頂尖大師。 《Antologia》精選輯，選曲範圍自七０年到九０年代且無特別以風格或紀年區分，於是合成爲兩張一套的CD，內容雖從佛朗明哥吉他、融合爵士古典風格都包含其中，但是最主要仍是落在熱情的拉丁節拍加上帕可．迪．魯奇亞精湛的共鳴吉他彈奏與難以抗拒的特出節奏魅力。
演奏家簡介：
Paco De Lucia是20世紀後期佛拉明哥音樂的一位重要的革新者。1947年出生在卡迪斯的阿爾赫西拉斯，他7歲的時候就開始彈奏吉他並且在十幾歲的時候和他的兄弟Pipe一起錄制了一張LP。早在1960年，Sabicas就對他在吉他演奏上産生了巨大的影響，動員他離開了傳統學校。他的首張獨奏專輯發行於1964年，5年後他確定了一個和歌唱家Camaron De La lsla長期合作錄音的計劃。70年代他的一首熱門曲“Entre dos Aguas”影響了整整一代的西班牙年輕人，接著又以“Firday Night in San Francisco”一曲征服了世界範圍的聽衆。他在1982年和John McLaughlin及Al Di Meola一起的現場演出具稱超過了百萬的觀衆。Paco De Lucia不斷地把拉美和爵士元素引入佛拉明哥並且與不同時代的西班牙音樂家合作。
Paco de Lucia是西班牙吉他音樂的一代人的大師（“the finest Flamenco Guitarist on his generation, possibly ever！”）當然，他主要是佛朗明戈吉他的演奏家，這與他的身世和早期經曆有關，他出身吉他世家，從小就開始了爲佛朗明戈舞者伴舞的經曆，成年後開始爲西班牙著名的佛朗明戈舞者Jose Greco伴奏，在各地演出，從此成爲著名的吉他手名勝遠揚。70年代後開始涉獵古典和JAZZ，BLUSE領域，所出版的個人演奏專集甚至不少於Romero家族的頭面人物
Largely considered the finest Flamenco Guitarist on his generation, (possibly ever), this is some of the most affecting beautiful composed music I ve heard in recent times. Paco s ability to carry a song with just his guitar and the most subtle of backing musicians is quite awe-inspiring. He moves from complex delicate guitar rhythmic arrangements, to furiously intense rapid fire passages that will almost certainly invoke an response of complete awe admiration for what he does better than anyone else. This is an Anthology of (a Limited 2 Cd version) that complies his two `Antologia albums into 2 disks (1 disk for each Anthology), and for a double album that weights in at over 24 tracks, you d think that you d have had your fill of Contemporary Flamenco, way before then....but you d be wrong, spreading the listening experience a disk at a time (over 2 days) not only left me with an unquenchable thirst for more of his work, but has that astute honour of being the most remarkable album, I ve heard for sometime, and that s with some truly exceptional competition, utter genius. And it should also be noted that this is a perfect introduction into Paco s sublime music if your new to this particular artist. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition

Reviewer: Edy Gibert (Buenos Aires, Argentina) - See all my reviews
Paco de Lucia s anthology edited by Uni/Polygram Latino consists of two volumes (one CD per volume) comprehending a varied number of themes from the different stages of the virtuoso modern flamenco guitarist and composer. Please allow me to cover both volumes in one review. Considering Paco s long career and extensive material I have to admit that the compilation was done with excellent taste and offers great value. Although the material is aimed to those listeners who probably don t own any of De Lucia s albums or just a few recordings, nevertheless, they managed to include a good selection of many of Paco s main modern compositions -in my opinion where his value is- that he still plays today during his many tours. Among them: Solo Quiero Caminar , Rio Ancho , Zyryah , Tio Sabas , Chiquito , and Entre Dos Aguas . In addition, the album includes some of the older and more traditional pieces as well as some from earlier recordings, and a movement from the Concierto de Aranjuez (live recording by Paco with orchestra). Something inside tells me that he ideal anthology that would have made justice to De Lucia would definitely have been two double CDs with more live material and collaboration efforts with Al Dimeola and John Mc Laughling. But, again this is an opportunity to own many or most of his best at a convenient price in two separate volumes. If you really are starting to listen to Paco De Lucia I recommend you start with Volume 2 as I think the material introduces better the different moods of the artist and allows you to better sense his musical evolution. If you then want more go for Vol. 1 to complete Paco s main repertoire, and/or get Luzia (his last release), simply because today he is playing better than ever. Paco changed the sound and the depth of Flamenco and of Spain s modern music not by playing strange noises, crazy effects, or soloing out of tune, but by adding alternatives and expanding the music scales and improvising over the rigid structure of traditional Flamenco and Spanish music. Thank you Paco for allowing the Sapnish folklore and sentiment to grow.

Possibly the greatest living flamenco guitarist to come out of Spain in the modern era, Paco de Lucia is arguably the best contemporary flamenco guitarist. He is definately one of the most productive with an extensive archive that rarely dissappoints. This collection of early works is fabulous. The technical magic he performs with such dexterity with his fingers is truly amazing, it is mesmerizing. That anyone can produce such fluid rapid fire attacks on the guitar is a testament to the fact that some individuals are truly blesssed. That we can share his talents via CD s is something to not be missed. The songs on this superb collection are vintage Paco, before his forays into jazz expermentation, just beautiful guitar work. The styles displayed on this CD run the gamut from bulerias, tanguillos, tangos to rhumbas, all with exceptional skill. This is, for the most part quiet music, although it is so fiery that it definately stimulates the mind. The guitar as the focal point of interest is no easy task unless of course the talents are those of Paco de Lucia. There is a song that is very lovely that he performed in the film Flamenco entitled Solo Quiero Caminar , complete with accompanying vocals ala estilo gitano. Another beautiful track is his rendition of Falla s Danza Ritual del Fuego in which he performs with such warmth and rhythmn that is countered by hand clapping and whirling flute that it is no wonder it is El Amor Brujo. All of the tracks are strong and display his numerous talents by allowing him to show the many sides of flamenco. Some of the songs have a jam session feel to them as though the guitarists got together for some majica gitano. If you love flamenco you can t get enough Paco de Lucia. This is packaged to show some of his best early work, but you can t go wrong with the CD s from which these songs were taken either. An excellent example of flamenco guitar at it s finest, this is the real deal.
