Will Kirk Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Howdy Well I've been meaning to do this for a long time. I feel that this is a composer who does not seem to get the respect he derserves in the music world. His music to me is quite inspirational, and I feel I should bring him to the attention of the members here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agustin_Barrios_Mangore Barrios is considered today by some to be one of the most important guitarists/composers of the early 20th century. He was the first to ever record Classical Guitar music, on 76 speed records. (you can read all this and more in the link provided) And here is a link to one of the best sheet music sites I've found on the internet. This is only a small taste of Barrios' work http://www.free-scores.com/Download-PDF-Sheet-Music-Barrios%20Mangore.htm and I have yet to get my hands on some recordings, but I'm certain if you really wanted you could find samples online Hope you all appreciate this wonderful composer's contribution to the wide world of music. His music to me is like Poetry All the Best Will Kirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
