This is the second CD in the new association between Guild and the outstanding guitarist Michael Erni, following the highly successful first disc (GMCD 7332) of music by Tárrega. For this new recording, Michael Erni has selected music by the Paraguayan composer and master of the guitar, Agustín Barrios Mangoré (1885-1944) whose reputation throughout the guitar world has grown considerably in recent years. Included on this new CD, which boasts an exceptionally fine recorded quality, are no fewer than 18 individual tracks, which together demonstrate the mastery of the more intimate forms in which Barrios excelled. The programme has been carefully selected to reveal the range of the composer's favourite genres, especially his love of the short descriptive piece, expressed through gracious melodies and superb writing for the instrument. This is a most important record for lovers of guitar music across the world.
