 Rating:  - Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar MasterpiecesAlthough entitled "Guitar Masterpieces" the music is MOSTLY big band with some guitar lead. This CD does not feature the guitar. Very disappointing..... Rating:  - Most amazing, calming collection of classic guitar music around!This has been one of my favorite CD's for a long time. So much so, I bought a copy for my new boyfriend [I was afraid he might want to borrow my copy and not give it back ;-) ] And the most special little nugget on this CD is the Theme from the Deer Hunter.

It includes Joaquin Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez, performed by Pepe Romero on the guitar with the Acadamy of St. Martin in the Fields. I needed to replace my old LP recording ...
