There is little in Pepe Romero's programme that has not already been recorded (some of it often) but deletions have minimized the impact of this. Romero is one of the most masterly living technicians, with a wide palette of tone-colour at his fingertips, and, if his interpretations lack the incandescence of those of Segovia in his youth and prime or, in some instances, the 'aristocracy' of Williams, they come from the heart. His early association with flamenco occasionally shows, e.g., not to the music's advantage, in the use of tremolo in Cordoba, but is helpful to Rumores de la caleta. The clipped delivery of the opening section of Cadiz and, certainly, the very free treatment of Adelita (a mazurka) too raise the eye-brows a little. Father Celedonio's pieces are backward-looking but very pleasant vehicles for both firework displays and sentimental reflection. Differences between Romero's approach and those of Segovia, Bream or Williams are largely expressions of their individual temperaments, different solutions to the equation—the balance between the art-musical and Spanish-traditional elements in this music; Romero's are quite superbly recorded.'
