Francisco Tarrega - Recuerdos de la Alhambra

Robert Myers(guitar) perfroms Requerdos de la Alhambra by Francisco Tarrega.(04/09)

Recuerdos de la Alhambra (tMemories of the Alhambra) is a classical guitar piece composed in 1896 by Spanish composer and guitarist Francisco Tárrega. He wrote it in Granada.

A virtuoso on his instrument, Tárrega was known as the "Sarasate of the guitar." His repertoire included many original compositions for the guitar (Capricho Árabe, Danza Mora, et al.) as well as guitar arrangements of works written for other instruments by composers such as Ludwig van Beethoven, Frédéric Chopin and Felix Mendelssohn. As with his friend Isaac Albéniz and many of their Spanish contemporaries, Tárrega had an interest in combining the prevailing Romantic trend in classical music with Spanish folk elements, which he did with Recuerdos de la Alhambra and his transcriptions for guitar of several of Albeniz's piano pieces (notably the fiery Asturias (Leyenda).
