A recording of guitar music from the same period by the Canadian guitarist Norbert Kraft was made in 1993 and subsequently released on the Naxos label: 19th Century Guitar Favourites. In the context of these newer recordings, revisiting this is very interesting, because it highlights aspects that originally may not have been so conspicuous.
Norbert Kraft needs no introduction to those familiar with the classical guitar and its repertory. Bonnie Silver and Norbert Kraft have acted as producer and technical support respectively for much of the extensive series of classical guitar recordings on Naxos. His credentials as a classical guitarist are impressive including the Canadian CBC Radio Competition First Prize (1975) and First Prize (1985) in the Segovia International Competition, Mallorca. He has served as a faculty member of the Manhattan School of Music and professor of guitar and chamber music at the University of Toronto and the Royal Conservatory of Music.

19th Century Guitar Favourites comprises precisely what the title implies, and although some subjectivity is always involved in such a compilation, Mr Kraft reflects extensive experience and good taste in his selection of music by Sor, Aguado and Tarrega.
