This book is a rich photographic anthology of the history of the guitar from the late eighteenth century to the middle of the twentieth century. In terms of both quantity and quality, the illustrative material it presents is without precedent. It covers more than fifty of the most representative instruments, instruments that were built by the greatest makers (from Torres to Rubio) and that belonged to the most important figures in the history of guitar performance (from Tarrega and Llobet to Segovia.

The pictures are accompanied by comprehensive historical, critical and technical notes that combine teh expertise of the two authors, a concert performer and guitar maker (a third expert has contributed a chapter devoted specifically to strings). But the text goes far beyond the merely technical and instrumental, reconstructing an important chapter in the cultural history of Spain.

The compact disc enclosed with the volume has been specially recorded by Stefano Grondona. It provides access to the sound of these historical instruments, some of which have not been heard in public for many years.

Hardcover, 216 pages.
