Best from Hungarian guitarist Gabor Szabo (7 albums)

Another incredibly, interminably long discography as you can see here.  Again, the usual comments about how this genome has some bona fide functional genes but tons and tons of 'junk dna' interspersed throughout, the majority of the music in fact. And I know lots of people will argue with me about this. 

The music is very uneven and for me at least, out of 7 albums there are perhaps a dozen tracks I would enjoy listening more than once or twice.  Very libraryish situation of course. 

All instrumental fusion with classical elements as you'd expect from the European provenance.

Theme for Gabor from 1976's Night Flight

Magic Mystic Face from 1977's Faces

Concerto, from Mizrab:
