Customer Reviews Very fine collection of special works. I find myself playing it over and over with growing enjoyment. In spite of the several references to Mozart (some of us get tired of him), I found this collection to be unique, innovative and very well performed. . Truly UNIQUE Classical Guitar 1 & 2 on an old cassette tape from the Musical Heritage Society. I first heard the Guitar Concerti Nos. This compilation from Philips Classics presents not only these but the Concerto No. 3 as well. Additionally, there are several other Giuliani works for Guitar & Orchestra, solo Guitar pieces, and the "Variazioni Concertanti", a duet with Celedonio Romero. These compositions are rarely performed or recorded. Giuliani's works are UNIQUE among the genre of Classical Guitar composition. . . reflecting as they do, that transitional period between the "Classic" and the "Romantic". Any devotee of Classical Guitar music who is not aware of Giuliani's work, is truly missing something!!!. Great guitar music Agree with another reviewer about similarities with Mozart. Enchanting and playful music, excellent performance and sound. I'm not an expert, just a fan of classical music. .
