A fine collection of classical guitar classics beautifully performed and superbly recorded on location in the Texas Hill Country. Kevin McCormick, known for his lush tones, effortless phrasing and strikingly original compositions, is finally captured performing pieces by Villa-Lobos, Ti¡rrega, Sor and Satie. Villa-Lobos' Cinq Preludes weave a thread through the collection taking us to the timeless "Spanish Romance," the delicate Ti¡rrega serenades "Adelita" and "Li¡grima," the passionate "Capricho Arabe" and the delightful choro by Pernambuco. Ponce's "Scherzino Mexicano" and Mertz "Nocturne" highlight McCormick's innate sense of melody and dance in this wonderful recording.
