Beautiful guitar playing!
author: Hans Simon Dahle
Delightful music from the Renaissance Era, effortlessly and elegantly performed by Diego Navarrete, of whom I knew nothing until I ordered this fine album. Great selection; mostly staple music of course, but also a few unknown gems. Highly recommended!

Graceful tribute to the Baroque

Baroque music offers the temptation to let virtuosity overpower musical taste, but Mr. Navarrete, though obviously capable of virtuoso display, never succumbs to this temptation.

These often bittersweet, soulful tunes receive the kind of treatment they deserve. And they deserve a lot of hearing, especially when played this well. A recording to return to repeatedly.
