from: Mca

Release Date October 15, 1990

Art of Segovia

Search: Tonadilla For Guitar On The Name Of Andres Segovia

This is an excellent CD to introduce yourself to Segovia or to have a nice collection of many of his better works. The Guitar is well recorded given the era in which it was recorded.

Highly recommended!
