5 out of 5 stars VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.......2003-09-20

I cannot recommend this retrospective of just a small amount of Yepes's work highly enough.

No matter what popular and lay opinions may be about Williams, Bream, Segovia, and others, the greatest classical guitarist of the 20th century was Narciso Yepes. It is a pity and a shame that the fear of the older generation of guitarists and their associates made Yepes a marginal figure.

In this box set you will find the definitive performance of Rodrigo's now famous "Aranjuez" concerto, which, incidentally, was recorded by Yepes before any other guitarist. There are also the rare concertos by Salvador Bacarisse, Antonio Ruiz-Pipo, and Maurice Ohana.

Every guitarist and every lover of the instrument should own this set. If it is not available, also refer to a similar box set with the ASIN number B0000B09Z5 or another B000026ZRL.

I bought this 4 cd set under the title Gitarra Espanola for about fifteen dollars more used than under its correct title Guitarra Espanola. It and the individual four volumes are out of stock. Volume 1 Sanz, Soler and Sor are pretty good. Volume 2 Albeniz, Granados, Tarrega, De Falla, and Turina are more the Spanish or Classical guitar I am used to from the likes of Romero, Williams, and Villa Lobos.
Volume 3 has the first recording of Joaaquin Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjeuz from 1947. My seller said that volume 3 was defective though it was just the recording capability of 1947.
Salvador Bararisse, another Twentieth Century composer for the guitar, was thrilling. Antonio Ruiz-Pipo challenged me. He was born in 1933.
There is a volume 5 with Joaquiln Rodrigo: Fantasia para un Gentilhombre/Concierto Madrigal for 2 Guitars & Orchestra/Marurice Ohana: Concerto Three Designs for Guitar & Orchestra that I will try to get used or new as it is also out of stock. These are way high in the Amazon Sales Rankings, but for a retrospecitive of the 10-string guitarist who died in 1997, this will do.
