"Asturias" by Isaac Albéniz (1860 - 1909) is widely considered as one of the most famous
pieces for classical guitar. But in fact, it is originally composed for the piano !
"Asturias" is one of the eight mouvements from "Suite española op. 47", which are titled with the names of spanish regions and cities.

For this video, I searched a long time for fine photographs of the region "Asturias" and found great ones at flickr and wikimedia.

Sincere thanks to all these photographers, who share their works for the idea of creative networking !

I am delighted to hear your marvelous performance and also see this excellent, and educational, video. I have always loved Asturias but did not know the inspiration behind the composition. I think you have clearly shown this. I greatly look forward to viewing all of your videos.
