Ο υστερορομαντικός συνθέτης – πιανίστας Isaac Manuel Francisco Albéniz y Pascual (1860-1909) δεν ενδιαφέρθηκε ποτέ ιδιαίτερα για την κιθάρα. Εντούτοις το έργο του, εμπνευσμένο από την παραδοσιακή μουσική της πατρίδας του Ισπανίας, είναι περισσότερο γνωστό στις κιθαριστικές μεταγραφές του. Ακούμε μια από αυτές, από τον μεγάλο Alexandre Lagoya και στη συνέχεια ένα κομμάτι στην original μορφή του, παρμένο από το ολοκαίνουργιο live άλμπουμ της Yuja Wang.

The late romantic composer-pianist Isaac Manuel Francisco Albéniz y Pascual (1860-1909) had no particular interest for the guitar. However, his work, inspired by the traditional music of his homeland, Spain, is most known in its guitar transcriptions. We hear one of them, performed by the great Alexandre Lagoya, and then a piece in its original form, taken from the brand new live album by Yuja Wang.
