I saw Pepe last night at the Walt Disney Hall with the USC Chamber
Orchestra. Beautiful guitar playing as usual, although last night I felt
that he was being held back by the orchestra, as if he was babying the
orchestra so as to pull off a good overall performance.

He gave two encores: one was "Fantasia" by his father Celedonio and the
other was "Recuerdos dela Alhambra".

He played what looked like a guitar with cedar top/maple back and sides.
Before playing Recuerdos, he announced that the guitar was built by his son,
Pepe Romero Jr. The guitar did not let the player down, it projected the
tones called for by Pepe up until the balcony where I was. Quite a feat
considering that he was unmic'ed the whole time, even during the Concierto.
