A great piece of classical guitar.
If you enjoy classical guitar then you cannot go far wrong with the works of Agustin Barrios. I was simply taken back to another age and relaxed by the Spanish style pieces of his Guitar Music 3. Play it in the bath or sit back in your favourite chair.
If you also want value for money , then you could do worse than buy it on the Naxos label from Amazon. I have certainly not been disapointed , and I rate this as one of my best Guitar CDs in my colledtion , as Jeffrey McFadden , always a top guitarist , excelled in this piece.
I certainly would not claim to be an expert upon music , but I like what I like and this very much hit the spot and I do not regret buying it. Many thanks to Naxos and Amazon.

John Williams was responsible for introducing me to Barrios and I would definitely recommend his Great Paraguayan: Solo Guitar Works By Barrios CD, but for sheer enjoyment, this Naxos disc is hard to beat. Is there such a thing as bad Barrios? Maybe, but if so, Naxos don't appear to have recorded any of it yet. The puzzling thing is that there are so few recordings of this composer - I am no guitarist, but this is great music.

Good and better as part of the 3CD complete works

I love Naxos for putting out the whole complete works, and by good guitarists. Frankly, I'm sure John Williams does a great job with these, but I can just as well enjoy them and get familiar with them with Antigoni Goni (who is excellent in CD2), Enno Voorhost (CD1), or here Jerry McFadden who does a very good job with them. As for the music, Barrios is a superb composer for his instrument, the guitar, and you'll want all three CDs, esp the Cathedral, Contemplacion, and the Sueno en la Floresta in the 1st and 2nd CDs. This CD is most valuable for the Medallion Antiguo, one of Barrios's celebrated pieces, but most of the titles are perfect for relaxing or background listening, although to me none stands out as a masterpiece of the Cathedral/Sueno caliber (yet quite honestly good pieces and pleasant to listen to).

This is beautiful music, beautifully played. I love classical guitar but did not know anything about Barrios until I heard a piece on our local NPR station. Went to Amazon.com right away because it is my primary source for good music. Ordered all 3 CDs for my brother-in-law, who is learning to play guitar. Went back to get them for myself and the first recording was no longer available. Glad to have the other 2, however.
Barrios Greatness

The best but not the only adjective I can think of to describe this listening experience is: GREAT! Unlike Volume 2, this one captures the mellifluous beauty we have come to expect from Agustin Barrios. Volume 1 is also an excellent example, but I believe this volume (3) is the best.
