I have Lorimer's facsimile. What I am really trying to find out is whether
there were any recordings of Murcia's music made before 1987 and also
whether any arrangements of it for classical guitar were published before
that date. The date 1987 is crucial because that is when Lorimer's
facsimile of the Saldivar ms. was published and Murcia suddenly became
flavour of the month big time. Several people including myself did
dissertations on him in the late 70s-early 80s and Robert Strizich refers to
him in his article on ornamentation in the LSA journal of 1974.
Incidentally I wondered whether anyone on the list is on the Guitar-Summit
list. I sent my message to them because it is more orientated towards the
classical guitar and I thought there might be someone who could answer this
query which is more about classical guitar versions than baroque guitar.
But my message didn't seem to appear on that list and I haven't had any
response. Perhaps it is now defunct.
Regards to all

Subject: Lorimer's bibliography? (ISBN 0-9618527-1-2
Hello Monica,
Your mention of the pre-1987 cut off date for de Murcia references leads me
to believe that you must already have access to Michael Lorimer's book and
its bibliography.
If not, I have a copy, if you need anything from it.
Thank you for the research! I have always been a fan of De Murcia.
