That's helpful. I have just realized that Harvey Hope recorded 4 pieces by
Murcia in 1979to . He and James Tyler play "baroque instruments" but
Segovia and Bream presumably clasical guitar. I am sure there must be more.

I used to be on the guitar summit list, but I haven't looked in on their
activity for years. I'm not certain where to find them any longer . . .
or, as you've alluded, if they even still exist.
Regarding pre-1987 recordings of de Murcia's music, I am aware of:
- Andres Segovia on modern guitar (Prelude and Allegro: 1977);
- James Tyler on 5-course guitar (Preludio, Gabota, and La Burlesca:
1978); and
- Julian Bream on 5-course guitar (Prelude and Allegro: 1985).
I would expect there are more, but these are the ones I have immediately
on hand in the day-job office.
Some modern-guitar characters with related interests and whom you might
want to try contacting directly (several of whom were active on the summit
list): Matanya Ophee, Stanley Yates, Carlos Perez (and his teacher,
Ernesto Quezada), and maybe Oleg Timofeyev.
Luck,
Eugene

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
Monica

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.
