Thanks for the heads up on Virginia Luque. YouTube has been a great resource since I picked up the guitar to familiarize myself with top players.

For one thing, to put together a "wish list" of CDs to buy. For another, to compare the differing approaches of various artists toward the same piece. For instance, between Roland Dyens and Kaori Muraji toward "Tango en Skai." Or Segovia, John Williams, and Anna Vidovic toward "Asturias."

At that level of play, IHO one player cannot be characterized as "better" than another. Just "different," and all virtuoso.

I read a review the other day on Amazon that so-and-so "wiped the floor with Segovia." From a reviewer who himself claimed to be a guitar player and a fan of classical music. A ridiculous assertion in my book, but I suppose there's one in every crowd including the musical crowd.
