Barcarola is without a doubt one of my favorite Barrios' pieces. The phrasing is natural and the guitar is at home throughout the work. The piece never abandons the 3 eighths note pattern nor the almost pedal like bass pattern that accompanies the ever moving dotted quarter notes.
I get a wonderful feeling when I play the piece. Although very intimate, Barcarola wants to be shared with a world audience.

Recommended hearing .mp3	Spanish/British player David Russell possesses the best classical guitar sound. Amazingly sweet, round and brilliant. In his hands Julia Florida gains a world of colors. A deeply felt interpretation that we can all benefit from. We shared the same teachers (Tomás and Carlevaro) and his clean interpretation is a living testimony of this school of guitar playing.
