From the CD released in 1998 (the same year Juan passed away) called "Juan Mercadal Plays Great Miniatures" on the Aranjuez label.

The album notes are highly interesting, I'll share a couple of bits here (I also plan to share more musical selections from this album):

"Only upon the continued insistence of Mr. Mercadal's friends, family, fellow musicians, and many admirers that he leave a permanent legacy of his unique style and power as a performer, and upon the generous intervention of Mr. Juan Orozco in fulfilling Mr. Mercadal's no-splice requirement, did Mr. Mercadal make this recording (which, he emphasizes, is a modest and unpretentious undertaking to please his students, friends, and family)."

The same album notes make reference to Juan's 1962 "At Vizcaya" recording saying that it was recorded much in the same fashion and that only ONE note was changed on the entire album.

Juan recorded this album with a 1994 Robert Ruck guitar.

Every so often, I look up my grandfather on YouTube to watch him perform again. It's always lovely and enlightening to read the comments from all his former students. Thanks for sharing.
