A very well interpreted set...

"John Williams's Barrios album has stolen my heart. It is obvious that there was a lot of heart and artistry that went into this recording. He plays the music absolutely brilliantly. These tracks can be used as textbook examples of how the music should sound and be interpreted. Williams is a very lyrical player with stunning technique. Pieces like the two Valses and Las Abejas show of his wonderful technical skills and the Mazurka Appasionata and Una limosna por el Amor de Dios show how Williams can take a lyrical piece and make it sound like the most beautiful thing you'll ever hear. Some pieces stand out more than others, but this album is an essential for any classical guitarist or lover of Late Romantic Latin American classical music."
