This CD has been one of the most actively played in my collection. It is one of those rare CDs that contains just the perfect mix of gorgeous guitar music played by an astounding guitarist. What a pleasure to listen to these compositions, sit back and be transported to another place and time. This is one of the best classical guitar "Greatest Hits" CDs available. If you have not had the opportunity to listen to Sharon Isbin in the past, you should not only order this CD immediately, but should add to your order her amazing "Lute Suites" CD as well. Your ears and soul will thank you.

All of Sharon Isbin's greatest rolled into one package! Make this CD part of your collection and you won't be sorry. I usually don't spend my money on Greatest Hits packages, but this one was an exception, and I wasn't disappointed.

The Artist's performance is GREAT as is the selection of works chosen for this Album.

David Russel and Jason Vieux may be better, but to my ears Sharon Isbin is the most appealing classical guitar player in the world. Segovia is the master and the breakthrough artist, but those that came after are better. Ms. Isbin is my favorite so far.

(By the way, this set contains 6 of the 23 tracks on the Bach Lute suites - so you might do well to pick up that wonderful cd as well. I did.)

I expected better after hearing how good she is, but the technical and emotional sides are lacking, the sound/tone is weak, and the programming could be better.

I haven't heard this one,but it's probably just as trippy as the others!
