REVIEWS:
"So impressed and delighted by
the quality (of print, binding, packaging and delivery), scholarly,
instructive introduction and authenticity of my recent purchases -
Aguado (Method) and Sor (Studies) - I can't resist the pleasure of
adding to my collection with these other Tecla editions (and of gaining
another splendidly stout cardboard box!)" (a customer)
What a wonderful account of a
man's life. There is so much to interest one." (on the biography
Fernando Sor Composer and Guitarist, from Brian Middleton)
AUGUST 2005: "I've received my order!!!!
It's the best collection that I've seen!!!! The quality is
incredible!!!" (a customer in Brazil, writing about the
New Complete Works for Guitar of Sor)
JUNE 2005: "My order arrived safely
today - and was packaged FANTASTICALLY! - many thanks" (a
customer in the USA)
FEBRUARY 2005: "Great site, great
service!" (a guitarist in the Netherlands). "I
truly appreciate the careful packaging. The music arrived in perfect
condition" (a customer in the USA). "Terrific
edition. Thank you" (a guitarist, on TECLA 101).
FEBRUARY 2005: "I was thrilled with the
edition. Scholarly work, beautifully engraved, page turns
optimized, high-quality paper. Outstanding, in fact." (a
guitarist, Jack Watson, on the Tecla edition of Giuliani's Sonata op. 15, TECLA 0497)
DECEMBER 2004: "I just received my new
Complete Studies for Sor and Giuliani in the cloth version, and they
are fabulous ... Thanks again for many wonderful products" (a
customer)
JUNE 2004, on the new Sor edition the New
Complete Works for Guitar: This is a new
contribution by Brian Jeffery . . . Most interesting in this work are
Jeffery's "Notes on the Pieces" at the beginning of each
volume. These notes contain such information as publication history,
background, and major editorial concerns. This really provides a
wealth of information for the player of these works. This is a
beautifully produced work. The paper and covers are of very high
quality, and the volumes stay open easily on the stand. These books
are a pleasure to work with. This new edition of Sor is
excellent. (Soundboard, 2004).
MARCH 2004: I have been meaning to thank
you for the excellent quality of the shipment which I received. We do
not see packing like this from U.S. suppliers. Very impressive!"
"Deseo enviarles mi más sincera y entusiasta felicitación por
el maravilloso trabajo que están llevando acabo"
(customers).
