The First Spanish Guitar

Pablo makes a welcome return to York for this recital of music by composers and players who in the 17th and 18th centuries first shaped the repertoire for Spanish guitar and raised it to a position of fame and prestige. With works by masters from Spain including Sanz, Murcia and Guerau, and illustrious Italians Corbetta, Bartolotti and Roncalli, the programme presents an attractive journey from popular song-tunes and dances to compositions of high academic refinement.
