Juan Mercadal plays Coste Op. 38 No. 6 Andantino

Every so often, I look up my grandfather on KZbin to watch him perform again. It's always lovely and enlightening to read the comments from all his former students. Thanks for sharing.

Wow !! So many forgotten excellent guitar players !! Thanks for sharing this and the next one from him !!👏👏👏

[@tateharmann3057]

I know, right?! So many forgotten names - it's a joy to bring them back to light. At least in Mercadal's case, many of his students are still alive and well to speak of his legacy.

Mercadal was a fine player, thanks for this. I have the "At Vizcaya" disc as well. Really good album.

[@tateharmann3057]

Yes I love the Vizcaya album 👍 Thanks for checking this out, David!

Tate, thank you for uploading. I would be so grateful to be able to listen to the rest of this CD.

[@tateharmann3057]

No problem at all! I was planning to share the entire album here but since I haven't done that yet I've put a link in the description which will take you to it. Apparently, Juan just recorded the CD for friends and family and was adamant that there be no edits or trickery in the recording so that it sounded more like a live performance. As such, it may not quite measure up to the standards of perfection that we are used to hearing these days. But I love it - there's some great playing on there.
