"Helmut C. Jacobs makes a strong argument for these pieces and plays them deftly, showing them in a most appealing light...the sound is very good, with a satisfying intimacy and accompanying ambience of the performance space."

Hybrid/SACD - playable on all compact disc players
"Helmut C. Jacobs makes a strong argument for these pieces and plays them deftly, showing them in a most appealing light. I found it a rather unusual recording to be chosen for release in surround sound SACD. Concertina music? In surround sound? Orchestral or even ensemble music seems, from past hearing, to be best suited to such a medium. I'm not sure what the extra sense of aural space an SACD could add to this recording, but hearing it on a regular player the sound is very good, with a satisfying intimacy and accompanying ambience of the performance space.
Various recordings of Regondi's guitar works are available, both on Naxos and Guild, but I've not seen the works presented on this MDG disc released previously. Overall, these are quite well-presented and pleasing, recommended especially for those who enjoy the lighter music of the mid-nineteenth century."
