At a concert in 1862 a small 10-year-old boy listened to a modest-looking guitar. It was "La Leona", an experiment by guitar-builder Antonio Torres. He never forgot that sound. Six years later he acquired his first own "Torres". Much later, in 1894, by which time Francisco Tárrega had long since become the world′s most famous guitarist, he finally held his dream in his hands. This legendary instrument is recorded here for the first time on disc. And there is more: Wulfin Lieske plays the best instruments by the world′s most famous guitar manufacturers for comparison...

" ... an imaginative and fascinating disc... Most of us take the sound of a guitar for granted; yet there is a myriad of subtle differences ...
