The following quote is from an article named "A wonderful Sergej
Krinicin
concert" - "The J.S. Bach's Chaconne d-moll and F. Tarrega's
Carnival of Venice was clear in form, pure in stylistic playing - very
similar
to Andre's Segovia's manner. The elegance and expression reminded the
creations
of the great master Linares. The audience in the Segovia's house-museum
during
the recital felt the beautiful musicianship of the performer, who was
emotionaly and warmly appreciated." Ch.Parrilla "Diario jaen" 2005
