I recently got back from a trip to Spain, having heard much Spanish classical guitar music on their national classical FM radio station (which I would recommend listening to while in Spain, it seems to be available everywhere, although on different frequencies). I bought this CD to learn more about the works, composers, etc. Both myself and my friends have thoroughly enjoyed this CD from Naxos - everybody wants a copy. Composers include Granados, Torroba, Mompou, Albeniz, Falla, Tarrega, and Rodrigo. High quality recordings. Most pieces are solo guitar or with minimal accompaniment. Lovely, sensitive, relaxing music. Great value for a 2 CD album. I would recommend it highly on its own merits, and also as an entry point for further exploration of Spanish classical guitar music.

I guess I didn't adequately research this purchase. There are many nice cuts. Unfortunately, what I was not looking for were those several cuts with orchestra. Oh well. Not a total loss. After loading on iTunes, I can delete the "offending" tracks.

CD arrived within a few days of ordering in perfect condition! should be in any classical guitar lovers collection

I am really pleased with this collection of spanish guitar music. It has just the right mixture of the familiar with the unknown but equally good.
