----------------------------------------------------------


This video was taken in a very small village called Entraguyes in France. The background is that of a church as shown in the begining picture. We had a great week of guitar workshop with some of the best cassical guitarist in France with concerts each night. It was such an awesome night.

Equipment used: Panasonic Lumix LX5 & Sony PCM-D50

Tárrega was born on 21 November 1852, in Villarreal, Castellón, Spain. It is said that Francisco's father played flamenco and several other music styles on his guitar; when his father was away working as a watchman at the Convent of San Pascual the child would take his father's guitar and attempt to make the beautiful sounds he had heard. Francisco's nickname as a child was "Quiquet".

An infection permanently impaired his eyesight and when the family moved to Castellón the child was enrolled in music classes. Both his first music teachers, Eugeni Ruiz and Manuel González, were blind.

In January 1906, he was afflicted with paralysis on his right side, and though he would eventually return to the concert stage, he never completely recovered. He finished his last work, Oremus, on 2 December 1909. He died in Barcelona thirteen days later, on 15 December, at the age of 57.

@mahdadzarafshan HI , thanks for your message. In this particular recording, I was using the Sony PCM-D50 a portable recording device. It was place at about 2 meters away from me to capture some of the natural reverb of the location. Kevin
