Classical, Spanish, acoustic guitar music, Love it!

[masraum]

My parents always listened to music so I assume that's why I love it. From the time that I was old enough to remember until my dad retired, he always had a very nice stereo system. My dad played cello in school and later guitar (mostly quit when he went back in the Navy and we started traveling). I kind of wish my parents had forced me into playing something, at least for a little while.

I remember my dad playing guitar from time to time, and one of the things that I've always remembered him playing, and I loved, is Malagueña.

Many years ago, I had a bunch of classical and Spanish guitar music that was in my regular rotation. I haven't in a while, but recently queued up a new channel on Pandora that I seeded with Marcin Patrzałek. Pandora has added a bunch of good stuff. I'm going to add some more variety.

But Malagueña is always a favorite (a few great renditions)




not acoustic, but still a great listen

This kid seems like he can play.

I'm not a player, so maybe this is not a big deal, but I'm impressed.

Some of the other stuff, Paco de Lucia, Andres Segovia, and Estas Tonne.

I feel like there may have been an old thread on Spanish guitar (I may have started it). I'll have to go back and see if I left anyone out that I could add.

Yep, I had another one, but it didn't go very far.

When I listen to folks like that, I am reminded that I am not a guitar player, although I do play enough to back up my vocals. 55 years and I am still learning. Not much, but I am learning.

That may be the first time I've heard 'Malagueña' on guitar. It's Cuban, written by the wonderful Cuban composer, pianist and bandleader Ernesto Lecuona. Here's a version of it from the 50s with Lecuona on the piano:


Here's a rendition of my favorite composition of his, 'La Comparsa', on a Spanish guitar:


And finally, since Paganini came up and I love gypsy jazz, here's the Romanian violinist Florian Cristea playing Paganini on the violin:
