The Best of Ottmar Liebert

[ Epic Records / CD ]

Release Date: Monday 9 September 2002

This is an excellent 15-track compilation from one of today's finest guitarists - German-born, Ottmar Liebert.

Born in Germany, Ottmar Liebert travelled extensively through Russia and Asia, absorbing the influence of each musical tradition he came across and eventually settling in Santa Fe.

In his own words "I love the intensity of flamenco, but I always knew that I wasn't interested in traditional flamenco. I was interested in how I could combine that with the Bossa Nova and everything else - rock, jazz, classical - into a different thing …"

The guitarist's debut record, 'Nouveau Flamenco', has become the top-selling guitar album of all time.

Ottmar has received Grammy nominations, several of Billboard's 'New Age Artist of the Year' awards, and his music can be heard on many soundtracks.

"The Best Of Ottmar Liebert" is a 15-track collection of some of Ottmar's finest and most popular work.

For his fans it is simply a treat, the best of Ottmar all on one disc.

For those who are not familiar with Ottmar it is a sampler of the work of one of today's finest guitarists and his never ending experimentation with various popular styles of music.
