I've listened to just about everything that Presti and Lagoya recorded, and I certainly agree that Presti was a concert player, one of the very best. I haven't heard as much by Maria Luisa Anido or Luise Walker, but I have heard some of their recordings. They aren't in the same class as Presti's recordings, but then whose are? Anido and Walker were both 15 or 20 years older than Presti. Were they not considered "concert" players? I wouldn't know..... Miguel Llobet was well known and made a decent living as a concert guitarist, but his recordings are not so hot. In Llobet's defense, Segovia said his recordings should all be destroyed out of respect for the true quality of his playing. RNJ
