Narciso Yepes - Romance from 'Jeux Interdits' (1952)

Now, it's time for something completely different!

The Spanish guitarrist, Narciso Yepes (1927.11.14 - 1997.5.3) plays Main Theme music - Romance - of the 1952 French film masterpiece, Rene Clement's Jeux Interdits (Forbidden Games).

This record is a King Record pressing. I don't know much about this company except they are from Japan. I bought this record in an antique shop in Seoul flea market - it was on the turntable of an Indian Crap-o-phone.

Of course, there are lots of recordings of this piece done by Narciso Yepes (and other hundreds of guitarrist) with Hi-fi recording technology. But anyway, this 78rpm recording is somewhat more nostalgic than the modern recordings.

Played on my Numark Turntable.

@baryss: I'm sorry, but Maestro Yepes was not telling the truth in this interview. He was born in 1927, however the earliest known publication of this piece dates from 1913 in Buenos Aires.

The Anonymous Romance belongs to Narciso Yepes by himself.He composed it for his mother when he was 7 years old for a birthday gift.He declared it on an interview on a radio program.The song come world famous so he decided to sign the song as romance anonymous.

Beautiful melody...I heard this piece many times before, but I never knew who composed it...such a mellow tune but yet so powerful, thanks for posting!

if at first you don't succeed, try try again....when i sightread it at first, i thought the same, had it mastered within a few minutes. What is so appealing about this song is how simple and easy it is, yet so powerful and beautiful.
