Not Sure About Classical Guitar

BBC Music magazine cover CD. Malcolm Arnold guitar concerto, Villa-Lobos guitar concerto, plus transcriptions for solo guitar of pieces by Bach, Dowland, Mompou and Albeniz.

Performers : Sean Shibe guitar. BBC NOW conducted by Pablo Gonzalez ( Arnold ) and Michael Seal ( Villa-Lobos )

With my background, I still tend to associate guitar with blues, rock and folk and so struggle with classical guitar. I even struggle with jazz guitar. But this disc has good moments and is well played.
