"As far as I can see, David Tanenbaum has done just about everything right in this edition....excellent"

Paul Hurley, Soundboard Magazine

"One of America's most brilliant classical virtuosos, David Tanenbaum is also a gifted transcriber, which this music clearly demonstrates. ..The two editions are attractively presented, easy to read, and highly detailed with expert fingering."

Jim Ferguson, Guitar Player Magazine

"...not only is this attractive music sensibly adapted for the guitar, but the music hangs together in a way Scarlatti transcriptions seldom do...Guitar Solo is to be congratulated for this fine edition."

Peter Danner, Soundboard magazine

"Tanenbaum has done an admirable job"

Raymond Burley, Classical Guitar Magazine,

"Tanenbaum's 'Essential Studies of Carcassi, Sor and Brouwer ' is a generous and insightful analysis of the most frequently used and most beautiful studies for the guitar...His attention to detail, knowledge of tradition and sheer love of music are evident in these books, but they become audible on this landmark recording. This is a lesson every guitarist should own."

Scott Cmiel, Acoustic Guitar Magazine
