No sophisticated playback equipment existed at the time and musicians were expected, due to expense, to commit to disc a spontaneous interpretation. Very few were able to do this and the result of Barrios' ability to record, in what was almost certainly a "one take" situation, has left classical guitarists and admirers of guitar music a legacy from one of the greatest guitarist composers. This 3-disc set reproduces all of Barrios' 78 rpm recordings from the Atlanta, Odeon, and Artigas labels as well as a few home recordings. Great effort, together with the latest technology, has been used to enhance the audio quality in this important re-issue. Total duration: Many of the recordings are of poor quality. 3 hrs, 17 min, 32 sec.
