Thank you Francisco Tárrega for this masterpiece. Seems not even the person who posted this video mentions his name.

@spanishyoruba Tarrega is maestro. He´s the one that brought much much much too classical guitar.

@Recordbhoy There are 2 songs in this video.

The first is Cavatina from the Deer Hunter, comically botched by Les Dawson on the piano.

The second is Recuerdos de la Alhambra by Francisco Tarrega, played at 2:00.

@jllobet I stand corrected , but I was making a point that it had nothing to do with Hollywood

[jllobet]

@Recordbhoy Actually Recuerdos de la Alhambra was composed around 1889 after Tarrega's trip to Granada not in the early 1900s

@ronshay3488 Actually , it is NOT the theme from the Deerhunter .That was called Cavatina and was written in the 60s by Stanley Myers ( long before the deerhunter film ..it had nothing to do with it ) .This piece is called Recuerdos de la Alhambra ..and was written in the early 1900s by the Spanish guitar master Francisco Tarrega ..It has nothing to do with any film either ..( although Mike Oldfield did an electro version in the Killing Fields end titles ) ..Now you know ..DON'T GET IT WRONG

Tigergod92 yes I think the same. He plays it differently these days. He still plays the best version in my humble opinion.
