Customer Review Brilliant! The Gran Sonata Eroica is played magnificently. This is a recording of several large scale works, some seldom heard like the Potpourris and Fughetta, some well known like the Gran sonata Eroica and the Variations. Marco Tamayo's unlimited reserve of technique contributes not only the requisite interpretive virtuosity to the piece but also manages to convey the grand and heroic characteristic of this sonata. The Potpourris are wonderful pieces, and similar to the Rossinianas in that they are comprised of many, many beautiful themes no doubt popular in their time. The themes are strung together and developed with Giuliani's ornate and flourished style allowing Tamayo to display his command and intimate knowledge of Giuliani's guitar works. Listening to this recording is truly enjoyable: the music is charming, virtuosic, and played by a truly brilliant virtuoso whose technique is dazzling, powerful, and profound. . .
