5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite and Inspirational!, October 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Parkening - A Tribute to Segovia (Audio CD)

Everyone who plays Classical guitar has heard these two names. Segovia and Parkening. One is arguably the greatest guitarist ever. The other is his student and successor. It is fitting therefore that this album be created. It is a masterwork! Every note, every nuance is executed exquisitely and it inspires me daily to continue with my own studies on the guitar. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys classical music or to anyone who wants to know more about the true range of the guitar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Have been loving this for over ten years!!, September 25, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Parkening - A Tribute to Segovia (Audio CD)

I bought this cassette over ten years ago (1992) when I started taking classical guitar lessons. Would listen to it on the way home from work, then had a baby nine years ago and have used it for lullaby music (works like a charm) for afternoon naps and nighttime. Still listen to it in the car when the kids fight and they mellow out instantly.

Finally buying it on CD because I think I wore a spot out on the cassette! I have listened to this masterpiece at least a thousand times and have never, ever tired of this most excellent work of art.

If you are a classical guitar fan, you will absolutely adore every single note played on this album/CD. I promise!! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars sonic rapture..., June 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Parkening - A Tribute to Segovia (Audio CD)

If anyone knows of a better sonically intoxicating cd than this please let me know. Possibly only Julian Bream's unreal 1982 Granados and Albeniz cd would top this one for me. Anyway just thought I would pass this thought along to anyone who may visit here. The tone is absolutely magical on this cd. This is the cd to listen to at night to chill out and get mellow while being enchanted to the max. Peace. I must go on... the tone, the tone. My god the tone.
