In case you're not familiar with Sabicas (1912-90), he was one of the greatest flamenco guitarists of the 20th century and a major influence on all his successors, most notably Paco de Lucía. Around the end of the '50s, he recorded three albums for the Elektra label, known to aficionados simply as Sabicas Volumes 1, 2 & 3. The first and third consisted of pure Flamenco, but in the second (possibly just for a bit of variety) he played several stunning arrangements of pieces from other genres that had caught his fancy - this despite his total. It covers the gamut from 'light' to 'deep' Flamenco styles (including the deepest of all, the siguiriya, of which Sabicas recorded comparatively few examples). Volumes 1 & 2 have now appeared on CD together as La Guitarra Flamenca, and Volume 1 is also on The Greatest Flamenco Guitarist. The Elektra discography says
