This is the very best playing of "Recuerdos..." I think. I also have it on a CD. The CD is called "Cavatina" and has several pieces played by Norbert Kraft.
Mo Wark
truly beautiful playing. I have known him a few years now but didn't realize that he was this amazing.
Kyle Smith
This guy is way too underrated.
Anatoly Filatov
Oh yeah, it's true!
Gary K.
The most beautiful rendition of recuerdos from tarrega I've ever heard... Oh, that only one dislike isn't from this planets brilliant musical world...
Roberto Martinez
Para tocar una de las mejores versiones de esta obra, no es necesario hacerlo a la velocidad de la luz.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ray Samson
Such an inspiration for so many years

Это лучшее исполнение Альгамбры из всех что я когда-либо слышал! 👍👍
Помню как-то давно давно, примерно в 2002 году к знакомым моих родителей приехали друзья из Швеции и подарили им диск NAXOS с разными произведениями в исполнении этого гитариста (Норберта Крафта). Я на тот момент уже закончил 7 летнюю музыкальную школу по классу гитары и знал толк в хорошей гитарной музыке и, главное, в высоком уровне исполнения. Я наверное 10000 раз уже послушал все эти композиции))
Мне нравились практически все. А парочку я даже играл сам и помню до сих пор (Cavatina и Evocacion).
Но больше всего с этого диска мне нравится Альгамбра.
Переслушиваю до сих пор. И до сих пор с огромным удовольствием! 👍
Не всем гитаристам дано играть тремоло так же как он.
