Contrary to what another reviewer said, this is a great album. The sound of the guitar is rich and warm, one of the most pleasing timbres I have ever heard. I have been a classical musician for over 30 years, and this is the best and most musical guitar sonatas I have ever heard. It contains subtle and expressive phrasing that makes me want to cry and some surprising virtuosic passages. Richard Savino has earned my highest respect for playing with such refinement and poise. One must have this cd in order to have a well rounded musical library, you will not be sorry.
