5 out of 5 stars A southamerican pearl.......2001-05-05

Barrios is able to take you to the heart of South America with the beautiful pieces he composed, of which «La Catedral» is probably the best known, a truly masterpiece. It's a very relaxing Cd (sometimes touching new age), but by no means a boring one, since due to its richness it calls in wide variety of emotions, ranging from happyness to sadness, from introspection to extroversion, and in a very balanced way. It is hard to find Cds without annoying numbers, but I would say we're dealing with an exception here. Balbi's interpretation is full of quality. So if you're looking for a incredibly good CD outside the better known world of Spanish or Brazilian guitar sounds, do not hesitate and widen your horizons. This Cd will make you feel good, plain good.

5 out of 5 stars Great music from Paraguay.......2000-06-14

Agustin Barrios was the greatest composer that Paraguay, a little country in the heart of South America, has produced, and perhaps one of the gratests guitar composers there has ever been. The music in this CD is beautiful, and Balbi does a good job performing it. As Agustin Barrios traveled through Latin America he incorporated the music from each region into his own, so expect to have a rich cultural experience when you play each track, all with a distinctive Paraguayan touch.
