Greetings friends,
Those recordings are available in a 3 CD set appropriately called; "The Complete Guitar Recordings 1913-1942" by Agustine Barrios.
I ordered mine from those great folks at GSI some time back.
It's an interesting collection of almost everything he wrote plus a few of the traditional standards.
It's nice to hear one of the truly great composers play their own stuff the way they intended it to be heard.
The quality of the recordings is pretty much on par with what you hear on the samples above so don't buy it expecting clean digital hi-fidelity.
With that said though...any lover of Barrios and his music shouldn't be without it.
Respectfully,
Mark
