I've been building my collection of Christopher Parkening recordings lately. Right now I'm mesmerized by his tribute to Segovia album. Parkening learned a great deal about tone & phrasing & attack from Segovia, his teacher, in playing the Spanish classics; but Parkening's own musicality & taste are evident, too, in his adaptations of Bach.
One of the greatest nights of music I ever saw was Carlos Montoya at the Ambassador Auditorium in Pasadena more than twenty years ago.
