Album Description
After 22 releases and a stellar career enjoyed by few guitarists of our time, three-time Grammy nominee Ottmar Liebert has released his most daring and unadorned recording yet. This 13 song release, One Guitar is filled with gorgeous soulful performances and a palette full of intimate moods and lush landscapes. Recorded solo with no overdubs, Ottmar delivers his amazing guitar prowess. This 13 song release was ''70% improvised'' says Liebert, which contributes to more personal nature and intimate environment that takes the listener to a different place.

 Ottmar Liebert - "One Guitar" December 4, 2006
James Dillard (Bedford, NH)

I've been a fan of Ottmar Liebert since the early 90's. My family and I recenty saw him live in Portsmouth, NH where he performed much of the music on "One Guitar." While I've been disappointed in live perfomances compared to the studio version of a cut, this gentleman performed every piece BRILLIANTLY. It's truly astounding to listen to such beautiful music, and to watch the person creating the music make it look so utterly easy.
This is an enchanting album...classic flamenco performed by the world's finest flamenco player. As an interesting aside, Ottmat Liebert is also quite an accomplished photographer. He ran a slide show with a random selection of his vast library of photos at the concert. It came off beautifully. If you ever get the chance to see him perform live, GO! If not, this album is about as good as flamenco gets!
Cheers,
Jim
Luxurious Listning December 22, 2006

It is hard to believe that ~One Guitar~ is just so...1 guitar...played by one human being.
Some how it seems the music melds back onto and into itself, making it's own simple elegant Flamenco symphony. It is clean, clear, smooth and immaculate. I found it most beneficial to leave it playing 24 hours a day in my room, while traveling, to think and dream by...very luxurious and healing to the senses. I find Ottmar Liebert to be an Artist worthy of the highest praise. Salute Sir! Only one thing would be more of a privilege to listen to, and that would be ~One Guitar~ in live Concert!
Music like no other December 19, 2006

Every time I hear Ottmar's "One Guitar" it reaches me more deeply. This is not pop music that grabs you quickly and lets you go as fast. And though is the greatest of guitarists, the music flows like it comes as easily as breathing. This is music from his heart that goes into my heart and I long to hear it again and again. It's imposible to explain in words.. I'll never tire of it. It helps me feel.
AMAZING TALENT March 9, 2007

I purchased this CD just after seeing him in person for two hours which was amazing in itself and this CD just carries on the magic that Ottmar has created. He and his band members play with their eyes shut so it is not hard for me to shut my eyes while listening to this CD and think I am on the 2nd row again. I totally recommend this CD to everyone that wants to be transported to an unbelievable place in the universe.
 One guitar too many... August 26, 2007

I'd normally avoid even commenting on such music, as it is usually not worth my time, but this....whatever...claims to play "flamenco", so I shall rate it accordingly.
As a frame of reference, I shall compare it to truly good "new" Flamenco by the likes of Tomatito, Paco De Lucia, Vincente Amigo and Gerardo Nunez.
This is utter....utter....UTTER garbage. He has no technique. He has no compas. He does not play Flamenco forms and, it is clear that he he ever tried, he would suck monumentally. The music doesn't even resemble Flamenco! He should be reported to the Federal Trade Commission for deceptive trading.
And people who claim this is Flamenco are just ignorant. Sorry, that's what you get for talking about something of which you know nothing. If you want to learn, search for Paco De Lucia here on Amazon and listen to the available samples.
I might be willing to let it go if there was any artistic merit in his music, but there is none. We have pedestrian, repetitive "hey, look I've just learned to play guitar" garbage. Seriously: this guy is amateur in the extreme. You can hear infinitely better stuff in a cheap piano bar.
As a guitarist, I've played some pieces by Paco, but if I'm ever asked "Have you played any Liebert", my response shall be "No, but I think I may have stepped in some once".
This gets one star simply because Amazon doesn't allow me to give a score of zero.
Footnote: Some may note that my reviews for Ottmar's albums are strikingly similar to each other. Well, that's an indication of how consistently bad his material is. And yes, I forced myself to listen to this rubbish, so this is a fair review.
