Yes, before you ask, the paper parts of the packaging went swimming somewhere.  But all was dry when I bought it.  And the music is alive, I tell you, ALIVE!

It’s a 2005 release.  This issue is a combination of two separately released discs, all of it comprising fine performances of nifty music.  Disc 1 contains works for guitar plus orchestra, Discs 2 is works for solo guitar.  I like Disc 1 better, what’s your preference?

See you Thursday.  have fun!
