Customer Reviews Don't buy it The guitar players are good. Ok. But there is so much extra noise such as heavy breathing, the guitarist moving around etc. in many of the pieces. I am only somewhat being humerous when I say I am suprised you don't hear the guitarist belching or passing gas! It is a very, very irritating recording of good guitarists. Certainly NOT Relaxing However, this CD is supposed to be "relaxing". This CD would get an average rating if it was merely titled "The World's greatest guitar music". Well, it most certainly is NOT. Some of the pieces literally sound like soundtracks to a movie thriller. Very misleading title to an otherwise pretty good collection of Spanish guitar ballads. If you are looking for something to relax or sleep to, look elsewhere. On the mark I often play, on a Ramirez, some of the tunes on these two disks. From the time I first attended a John Williams concert 40 years ago, I have been a collector of Spanish / Classical guitar music. The selections are wonderful examples of the world's greatest guitar music. I actually take naps while listening to these cd's. The guitarists are excellent; I only wish Denon had listed their artists. .
