If you play the classical guitar you should not be without this disc. It offers great performances of several miniature masterpieces from the repetoire. If you have progressed beyond the absolute beginner stage you will be able to play some of the pieces by Sor and Aguado.
Segovia is always sensitive, never pompous, extremely revealing and always at the service of the music.
The recording quality varies and sensitive hi-fi’s will reproduce the engine noise of fishing boats on one of the tracks. But who cares? This disc is an endless pleasure and immensly instructive.
One of the great classical guitar recordings.
