Came across this, purporting to be a wax cylinder recording of Tarrega, complete with some kind of commentary. Thanks to Jorge Orozco for putting this on Youtube.
Fascinating, and instructive … if genuine.
Huge crackle warning ….!

This is INCREDIBLE
So much passion – last week I had the pleasure of playing on an 1880s Torres – really puts this recording into perspective. Great blog, I’ll be stopping by frequently!
Thanks for the comment, M
But see below – here is the original discussion about the recording

Old news. This was discussed on the guitarrartelinkado forum more than 12 years ago. The conclusion was that there is absolutely no evidence that the player in that recording was in fact Tárrega himself.
