Along with The Art of the Spanish Guitar, this is the other must-have recording from John Williams.
His performance of Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez rivals that of both Andres Segovia and Julian Bream, and quite possibly surpasses them.
His execution is flawless, but there is also a tangible aggressiveness that gives his playing a distinctive edge.
The performance of "Asturias" is also quite breathtaking and should be essential listening for any aspiring guitarist.
