These three works are arrangements and as such do not follow note-for-note the original versions of Barrios.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Stover recorded these three pieces and a number of other Barrios works for a wonderful album he made with his late flautist wife Jananne Lovett (1943\u20132016) called <a href=\"http:\/\/ricoguitarnails.com\/CDs\/Barrios_for_Flute_Guitar.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">On the Mangor\u00e9 Trail: Barrios for Flute &amp; Guitar<\/a>, released several years ago\u00a0 (Stover also published two volumes of the <em>Complete Works of Agustin Barrios Mangor\u00e9 for Guitar<\/em>, also through Mel Bay.)
