Mr. Stover is a leading authority on the life and work of Barrios, and this book is an invaluable source of information...

Few understood the guitar like Barrios, and the legacy of his genius is a constant stimulus for those of us who love it..This book gives a definitive insight into the life and times of the man, and detailed analysis of his many compositions...Thouroughly recommended..

This review is from: Six Silver Moonbeams: The Life and Times of Agustin Barrios Mangore (Paperback)

This is a fine book for anyone interested in the music of the Americas or classical guitar. It presents the life and struggle for critical acceptance of this unusual and gifted man, and has insightful analysis of his music also, with emphasis on its use of the guitar's resources.
