1001 Classical recordings you must hear before you die (1901-1950) - "You can't go wrong with this double disc set. John Williams is among the finest living classical guitar virtuosi today. His harmonics are similar to that of the great Christopher Parkening, and his style of playing is clearly influenced by Andres Sergovia. Then again, who hasn't Sergovia influenced? Buy it."
