  Accordingly to the brochure I have:
  "In an interview in 1985, Andres Segovia named Stefano Grondona as one of his favorite students (together with John Williams, Oscar Ghiglia and Alirio Diaz)."

  I may go for the one by Stefano Grondona. But then must see whether I got to work night shift in that day or not.
  
  BTW, to all:
  Go there early b'cos there may be a CD sales played by the artiste before the concert. Normally, these isn't available at our local stores. At the end of concert, there may be a signing session by the artiste.
