You are an exquisitely blessed gentle sensitive young woman, graced with a calming sonorous wondrous voice which reveals your inner poise, grace and timeless physical and spiritual Beauty. Now at 76 years of age following a doldrum of some fifty plus years i can now thank GOD for His grace which allows me to resume my guitar studies. Once again accept our thanks for the Gift of this Presentation!

This was so masterfully crafted and produced. Bravo! Simply put: Tarrega was monumental to the spanish classical guitar. You can't be a classical guitarist and have not played one of his pieces or at least heard one. I love the European history also incorporated in this episode. Cheers.

@mattiasjohnsson3340 4 ай бұрын

I am an true Amature. But I have played 10 pieces of Tárrega. That alone shows his monumental importance of the classical guitar.

Rosie, You provided an outstanding narrative with your unique poetic prose style and lovely captivating “radio voice”. The historical context is rarely part of an arrangement; dire circumstances can sometimes be an inspiration for artistic genius. Your biographical work encourages me to do further research on his music, guitars and playing technique. I will however forgo his penchant for cigarettes 😂

I have my string instruments roots on ukulele and the (portuguse) cavaquinho. Tarrega is the reason i have started playing classical guitar.

Hi, i'm from Catalonia, Spain and the video location of Villareal is wrong. This city is in the other side of Spain. Please check it. Except this, the video is great!

@RicardoMarlowFlamenco Ай бұрын

Yes, near Valencia (we can see almost “Va…” on the map on the right hand side. Also at 5:06, there is an implication that Flamenco music with guitar accompaniment is a music “for the street”. Actually there are already the cafe cantantes where the music is performed, mostly by the small elite group of gypsy dynasties who are both working class citizens and connected to the Corrida Nacional (Bullfighting). However, as early as 1838, some of the performers called their 6 string twanger “Vihuela” which was once quite distinct from the 4 or 5 string “guitarra”. The myth that Flamenco music is some low class street folk music persists, but it is an elitist music that requires training to the degree of Marital Art schools.

I became acquainted with the works of Francisco Tárrega as a child, when I was very young, I played then without using my nails and this helped me master the correct tone of the instrument, and this is because when working with my father I used the method of F. Tárrega, which was taken for basis!

I am really bothered by several comments relating to the presenter's attractiveness and ones that obsess about an historical error here and there. Go listen to some fine guitar music and be appreciative that people are out there working intelligently to bring you information like this at no cost to you.

Brilliant account of Tarrega. For me, he is the embodiment of Spanish music (classical) and a huge influence on Paco de Lucia as a composer/performer/innovator. I often wonder whether the 'rest stroke' was actually perfected by Sor, but originated with the street performer of Flamenco? Speculation really, but the power of flamenco melody comes from the rest stroke. A very sensitive account of Tarrega. Thanks.
