"If you like the sound of Spanish classical guitar music, this is a very fine and lovely CD. The influence created by the sounds is soothing and relaxing, smoothing the rough edges in the mind, penetrating and settling the heart, and relaxing the air in the room. This music is much more thought-provoking and quieting rather than exciting--a very useful device, so to speak, to sort out the inevitable tangle generated from the rounds of everyday life. There's a purity and simplicity about this work that belies its sophistication. The selections are all at least elegant, smooth, and very refined, with moments of dark romance as well as lighthearted playfulness and festivity, and all that's in between, complemented by excellent recording quality.



I find this collection a very satisfying treat, and an inspiration to learn to play this amazing musical instrument. Maria Esther Guzman's ability with her guitar ought to be legendary--if it is not already."
