Product Description

From the Author
A beautiful and intelligent account of the classical guitar
The Classical Guitar: A Complete History is a comprehensive account of the instrument's history, based around a magnificent collection owned by the American enthusiast Russell Cleveland and illustrated with new photography, fascinating archive material and commissioned artwork. Our aim has been to tell the story of the classical instrument and its makers, from its simple beginnings to the hi-tech experimentation of recent times. But the book also includes accounts of the guitar's repertoire, its principal players and their recorded legacy. It has been written by many of the world's leading authors on the instrument and is beautifully produced in a limited edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful photos and layout, a wonderful collection, 29 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Any lover of the classical guitar cannot help but appreciate this gorgeous collection of instruments, as well as the way in which they are displayed on the pages. Filled with information about the guitars and their construction, the luthiers, and which players'CDs you can hear them on, I highly recommend this fine edition. I take issue only with the subtitle "A Complete History", as the guitars are based on a single collection of instruments, owned by Russell Cleveland, and not necessarily what any other person would consider "Complete". That fact does not diminish my enjoyment of this exquisite book one bit.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book with superb pictures., 24 Sep 1998
By A Customer
This is an amazing book. It has a lot of information of todays luthiers and past luthiers. The photographs are beautiful and I would recomend this book to anyone who loves the classical guitar. It is however on the expensive side.
