Mallorca by Isaac Albeniz - Performed by SImon Powis

This is from a recital given at Yale University in March 2010. The beautiful 'Mallorca' by Isaac Albeniz was originally written for piano but here it is played in a wonderful transcription, by Andres Segovia, for the guitar.

Enjoy!

@SimonPowis Ah, I was going to guess spruce. Shows how much I know. Interesting choice of strings, have you ever tried out Aranjuez strings? The medium gauge silver set has become my favorite, I prefer the sound to what my guitar sounds like when it's set up with Augustines or D'addario. Of course, different strings interact with different guitars in a unique way, but if you're ever in the mood to experiment you should give them a try some time.

@Chagsis It is a guitar built by Paul Sheridan (WA Australia) the back is Indian Rosewood and the top is Cedar. Classical guitars are normally made with cedar or spruce tops. The strings are good ol' D addario j 46

Hope this helps!
