Segovia & His Contemporaries Vol.11: $59.95 Guitarists of the Rio de la Plata 3 CDs and 1 DVD There is a complete list of all titles on the 3 CDs and 1 DVD on the link. The first paragraph of the extensive liner notes mentions my Annotations DVD lecture, and on the inside back cover the use of two tracks by Lalyta Almiron from the FFSI archive is mentioned. Ricardo Munoz's dedication to his exhaustive Historia de la Guitarra (Buenos Aires, 1930) claimed, with no exaggeration that Argentina (and the Rio de la Plata region) was the "premier bastion" of the guitar in the first decades of the twentieth century. Below is a brief sketch of its evolution into the centre of classical guitar activity. The six string single strung classical guitar came to Argentina early in the nineteenth century. The Italian guitarist Esteban Massini (1778-1838), arrived to Argentina in 1822. Eight years later the poet Esteban Echeverria returned from his European studies, bringing with him the teachings of Sor and Aguado. Many others followed, including such pivotal figures as Gaspar Sagreras (1838-1901) in 1860, Carlos Garcia Tolsa (1858-1905) in 1885, and Antonio Jimenez Manjon (1866-1919) in 1893. Consequently, native guitarists also began to flourish, prominently among them, Juan Alais (1844-1914). Finally, of the disciples of Francisco Tarrega, the father of the modern classical guitar, arrived. Miguel Llobet (in 1910), Emilio Pujol, and Josefina Robledo came for extended periods to perform and teach. Others settled permanently in Buenos Aires, including Domingo Prat (first visit in 1908), and Hilarion Leloup (1876-1939) in 1912, establishing schools and academies that at their height provided instruction to over five thousand students, laying the foundation for an immense flowering of young virtuosi. Johannes Moller GFA Winner 2010 DVD 58 Minute DVD $19.99 Explore the musical world of guitarist and composer Johannes Möller, winner of the 2010 Guitar Foundation of Americal International Concert Artist Competition.

When Johannes played for the South Bay Guitar Society here in San Jose, California in the Fall of 2010, I thought his quality of tasto tone (When the right hand plays about 12 frets from the note produced by the left hand.) was the best I had heard in my life, and I've had 2 GFA Winners visit my store, so that's saying a lot. Pepe Romero Plays Concierto Festivo by Ernesto Cordero DVD 45 Minutes $19.99 Cordero's Concierto Festivo, for guitar and string orchestra, is his fourth concerto, written in 2003 and dedicated to legendary guitarist, Pepe Romero.

This concerto has three movements, written in a modal and neo-Romantic style, in which the contrapuntal elements of the Spanish Renaissance combine with contemporary harmonies giving it a distinctive flavor which is present in most of Cordero's works.
