The Romeros

The Romero Guitar Quartet are entertaining and amazing musicians. I encourage attending a performance when they are in town. We also enjoyed watching and listening to TSO performing Ravel's Bolero. Its not a monotonous piece if you appreciate the gradually building up of the instruments playing the theme.

The TSO performance with the Romero Guitar Quartet was a stunning display of musical excellence. The symphony played pieces from Verdi, Vivaldi and Ravel and they were a treat to listen to. We especially liked Ravel's Bolero. The Romeros displayed an extraordinary command of the classical guitar and it was a treat to listen to them and their music. One of the best symphony performances we have ever attended.

The program was beautifully put together by the TSO's new music director, Jose Luis Gomez, to present an astonishing range of tones and textures. And his version of Ravel's Bolero was unmatched, in my opinion, in the way he let each instrument speak in its own voice, without a strict formulation so often heard with this piece. Most exciting, though, were the several encores by the Romero Guitar Quartet, including a malaguena that almost got the audience dancing in the aisles.

The Romero's got 3 standing ovations and played 2 amazing encores. They were the featured artists of the Tucson Symphony Orchestra and played two selections with them, their skill and expertise in classical guitar is legendary. Three generations that have such talent and enjoy performing together is heartwarming in itself but the music comes from the heart of Spain is not to be missed. What an evening!

Would like to have a little more of the Romero's but the TSO was wonderful that night and enjoyed the concert very much!

The venue was elegant yet casual. The orchestra and conductor's performance were second to none. The Ramero s; well its the Ramero s enough said.

This was an outstanding show with the masters of classical guitar, The Romeros. The Concierto Málaga String Orchestra accompanied them and were fabulous. The program was very popular, including Christmas carols, with nothing too deep. Highly recommended for everyone.

This group plays the classical guitar like no one else in this world. Their music takes you to another place. Beautiful, breathtaking and peaceful.

This was not at all what we had expected. The orchestra was not very good. Maybe they were suffering from jet lag? Much of the program was simple christmas pieces that really didn't show the Romeros mastery of the guitar. There were a number of times when both the Romeros and the Orchestra played that the guitars were completely drowned out. If they are not going to mike up the guitars, they need to get the orchestra volume under control.

very well done . the Orchestra Malaga and the Romeros performed a wonderful set of classical Spanish music and cherished Christmas music.

Loved the experience, had a wonderful time. the music was amazing I don't know how they do it?!!!

The Romeros were brilliant as ever as Celedonio Romero's legendary legacy lives on! Impeccible and breathtaking guitar playing of all the favorite Spanish - Classical greats. Heartfelt and personable stage presences made the experience even better. No one does it like the Romeros - a must see and listen.

Amazing evening of music! The family is genuine and funny and their performance seamless and heartfelt. A true gift to experience.

The newest 'incarnation' of Los Romeros lives up to the standard set by the original four members (two of whom are still playing - Pepe and Celin). The substitution of Lito and Celino for Celedonio and Angel has brought new life and sparkle, while preserving the traditions and musicality. The only complaint was the lack of a written program. On the other hand, it appears that the group was 'making it up on the fly' and deciding which piece to play when, so having no written 'menu' as Lito called it (he says he is always hungry) gave them, perhaps, more flexibility to go with the moment. And what moments those were! Bravo!

The music was amazing (especially Pepe) and the stage patter was amusing. Hard to beat for a superb evening of Spanish guitar (mostly classical with some flamenco). There was no printed program though which would have been nice.

We got to sit right in front of them 1st row center and my date (my father) was in heaven. Every piece was something he knew and loved. He commented later that while he had heard many of the sounds made (like the tapping on the guitar - drumming) but could not have imagined what it looked like to see them do it. The Romeros are a tight group - 2 sets of father and son - and communicate their love of music, their passion for the guitar, their superb skills, and their love for each other. All of those things made fabulous music even more beautiful. We will be back with all our friends next time they come and I hope they come back soon.
