I am lucky enough to have as my friends and/or clients some of the great spanish guitarists and teachers. I met Javier Somoza while I was working with the 1924 Santos Hernández guitar for my article in Roseta published last year as he was executive editor for that issue. We finally got to have a drink and a meal together at the Madrid presentation of the journal. He played two pieces on the original guitar at that time and told me that he had plans to record this cd. The guitar is an excellent example of perhaps the best maker Spain has ever produced and the recording certainly does it justice. The music is well-chosen and very well played.
I am pleased to see that the cd (available starting today!) has excellent distribution and can be bought in most european countries. I am not sure if Brilliant has U.S. distribution but I am betting that they do. In searching for these links I see that in some countries it will be July 7th before the cd is available.
Of course I need to mention that I have included a copy of this guitar in my catalogue and it is selling very well.
