Novecento Guitar Preludes - Classical Guitar Sheet Music for Beginners & Professionals | Perfect for Practice, Performances & Music Lessons

My complaint isn't so much the quality of the recording as the presentation as in the poor packaging. Here, we get 1-1/2 CDs worth of music spread across 3 CDs in a "Vox Box" style CD case. It is an absurd waste of packaging material and forces the buyer to allocate 3 CDs worth of shelf space for only one CD's worth of material. Two of the CDs have less than 38 minutes of material (one only 33), and the other only 47 minutes. And this, from Brilliant Classics, who previously gave us eco-friendly packaging for Angelo Gilardinio's Transcendentia, which housed 5 CDs in cardboard box about 2 CDs wide. Also, Brilliant Classics gave us the Villa-Lobos string quartets (6 CDs) in a similar eco-friendly box.As for Porqueddu's playing, I'm only familiar with the Ponce Preludes, having listened to them and played them for years. I find his interpretation to be sub-standard, compared to that of Segovia, Hoppstock, Holzman, Boyd, Parkening and others. In short, his playing is dry and sometimes, his tempo is just too slow.Recommended, however, because most of the recordings are world premiers. But still disappointing because space was available for recording other sets of preludes, e.g., the 24 preludes of Gilbert Biberian, of which, only the first 12 have ever been recorded.My rating is harsh, geared to send a strong message to Brilliant Classics and their artist director not to be so lack with their recording and packaging standards.
