I have to say that - from this CD - I much prefer his guitar stuff to his violin stuff (Both are virtuoso).
Another great Naxos CD (There are many) - Buy with confidence.

A stunning performance
8 Feb 2007
Format:Audio CD
This is an absolutely stunning performance of some of the very greatest music ever written for guitar. Paganini was a virtuoso guitarist but is best remembered for his performances on and compositions for violin. I can't figure out why his guitar music and reputation did not survive equally well. Cuban guitarist Marco Tamayo gives a flawless performance here. I've listened to this disc many times and used most of it on my radio program on WHRO in Norfolk. Top of the line addition to any classical guitar afficianado's collection.

Stunning
22 July 2008
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Marco Tamayo is a splendid guitarist. I have his Guitar Music of Cuba album, which I enjoy as well as this Paganini CD. The music here is altogether winning. Tamayo plays the Grand Sonata with elegance and fluid technique. It's the sort of work that benefits from a performer who can match sensitivity with grandeur, and Tamayo has that knack. Most of the shorter works on this CD are salon music of varying types. They require a sense of style more than spellbinding finger work, and in Tamayo's hands they pass very sweetly. The last two Caprices, from the famous set for the violin, are finger breakers on the guitar. Listening to Tamayo, you wonder how it is possible for anyone to play them on the guitar, let alone this well. The sound engineering is good, too. All in all, a welcome CD of often unusual repertoire that deserves a hearing.
