One won't notice the absence of the center channel or sub output - these are superb surround recordings that don't sound dated in any way.”
--John Sunier, audiophine audition
.it is a surprise and delight to welcome PentaTone’s four-channel remastering of the material at hand, recorded in quad in 1974. The rear channels are ambience only; from the front comes a natural balance between soloist(s) and orchestra…”
---James Reel, Fanfare
“ This SA-CD is a particular pleasure to hear, offering Giuliani’s delightful first guitar concerto with Pepe Romereo as soloist, as well as Rodrigo’s Cocierto Madrigal in which he is joined by his brother Angel…As a bonus we have the same composer’s Sones en la Giralda scored for harp and orchestra, with Catherine Michel as soloist. Although the recordings on this SA-CD were made in two locations, the surround sound and overall effect is the same, that is to say totally satisfactory.”

“The sound quality is as good as I have come to expect from the Pentatone RQR releases, and is a slight improvement over the original Philips LP in terms of its transparency and spatiality.
Highly recommended.”
