5.0 out of 5 stars guitar album, March 13, 2009

By	K. Bull - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this for my employer who is a professional classical guitarist. I have not personally heard the album but he told me he enjoyed listening to it and hearing some different arrangements not heard before.

4.0 out of 5 stars It would be nice to know what you're getting, July 11, 2009

By	Paul Magnussen (Campbell, CA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Well, I can't review this disc because I've never heard it.

What I'm trying to do is correct Amazon's error-ridden contents list, using that on Amazon UK (itself not without its errors and omissions) and a bit of intelligent guesswork. This is what I've come up with so far:

Disc: 1
01. Air From Orchestral Suite No.3 in D Major, BWV 1068 (Bach) - Göran Söllscher
02-04. Concierto de Aranjuez (Rodrigo) - Pepe Romero
05. Prelude from 'Cello Suite Nº 1, BWV 1007 (Bach) - Andrés Segovia
06. Gavotte I & II From 'Cello Suite Nº 6, BWV 1012 (Bach) - Andrés Segovia
07. My Lady Hunsdon's Puffe, P. 54 (Dowland) - Göran Söllscher
08. A Piece Without Title (Dowland) - Göran Söllscher
09. The Shoemaker's Wife, P. 58 (Dowland) - Göran Söllscher
10. Sonata in E Major, K.380 (Scarlatti) - Alexandre Lagoya
11. Prelude For Lute, BWV 999 (Bach) - Andrés Segovia
12. Two Minuets (?) - Göran Söllscher
13. Variations on a Theme by Mozart, Op.9 (Sor) - John Williams
14. Melody (Melodie) (?) - Pepe Romero
15. The Happy Farmer (Schumann) - Pepe Romero
16. Soldiers March (Schumann) - Pepe Romero
17. Waltz, Op. 39, Nº 15 (?) - Pepe Romero
18-20 Concerto in D Minor (Marcello) - Alexandre Lagoya

Disc: 2
01. Romance (Anon) - Narciso Yepes
02-04. Concierto de Aranjuez (Rodrigo) - Pepe Romero
05. Minuetto from Sonata for Guitar in C, Op. 22 - Julian Bream
06. Preludio in E major (Moreno Torroba) - Julian Bream
07. Fiesta en Jerez - Pepe Romero
08. Sevillanas - Paco Peña
09. Habanera from Carmen (Bizet) - Alexandre Lagoya
10. Aria from Bachianas Brasilerias Nº 5 (Villa-Lobos) - Alexandre Lagoya
11. Sicilienne (?) - Steve Erquiaga
12. Mass in B minor (Qui Tollis) (Bach?) - Dominic Miller
13. Here, There, & Everywhere (Lennon/McCartney) - Göran Söllscher
14. The Long & Winding Road (Lennon/McCartney) - Göran Söllscher
15. Yesterday (Lennon/McCartney) - Göran Söllscher

The Sicilienne might be by Bach, but then it might be by Fauré, or a lot of other people. The rating is an educated guess, too.

Hope this helps.
