December 16th will mark the 70th birthday of the Cuban guitarist Manuel Barrueco, which we celebrate with a comprehensive physical boxset of the beautiful EMI recordings he made during the 1980s and 90s. We release here a collection of his best renditions digitally, from fascinating transcriptions of baroque pieces to folkloric tunes from Barrueco’s beloved Latin American tradition, via Spanish romantic masterpieces and arrangements of the Beatles. An eclectic program that brings Barrueco’s radiant sonority to light.
