Wonderful!
author: Bryan
This CD is fantastic! Tim Olbrych is a master of the Spanish style and is in top form on this recording. The sound quality is excellent (never a certainty with independent releases) and the packaging is very professional. I particularly like the Renaissance and Baroque tracks on the first half of the CD, though the entire CD is enjoyable. Great for listening on a rainy day, while working, or to add a touch of elegance to your next dinner get-together.

Excellent Performance and Sound!
author: LPBarry
This HDCD format disc provides as good quality sound as you will get from this medium. Warm sound and staging provide a vibrant recording (in contrast to the many poorly recorded classical guitar albums). The performance is a worthy one and the selections provided are a valuable addition for any lover of classical guitar.

Excellent CD
author: Baron Schwartz
What a pleasure! This CD is a selection of pieces that covers several centuries, played on the appropriate guitars in the appropriate tunings for the piece and time. The sound quality is excellent, and the performance quality matches it.
