Tárrega: Recuerdos de la Alhambra (Tariq Harb, guitar)
Guitarist Tariq Harb performs the iconic “Recuerdos de la Alhambra“ by Francisco Tárrega.
From Wikipedia:
“Recuerdos de la Alhambra (Memories of the Alhambra) is a classical guitar piece composed in Málaga by Spanish composer and guitarist Francisco Tárrega. It requires the tremolo technique and is often performed by advanced players.
The piece was written for and dedicated to Tárrega’s patron Concepción Gómez de Jacoby in 1899, commemorating their visit to the Alhambra palace and fortress complex in Granada, Spain. It was originally titled Improvisación ¡A Granada! Cantiga Árabe. It became known through an early 20th-century publication edited by Tárrega and dedicated as an homage to the French guitarist Alfred Cottin.
The piece showcases a challenging guitar tremolo, wherein a single melody note is plucked consecutively by the fingers in such rapid succession that the result is an illusion of one long sustained note. The thumb plays an arpeggio-pattern accompaniment simultaneously. Many who have heard the piece but not seen it performed mistake it for a duet.
The A-section of the piece is written in A-minor and the B-section is written in the parallel major (A-major).“
This will be one of the pieces in my upcoming album which will be titled “Gems“, a 2-hour long album with some of my favourite pieces in the repertoire. Stay tuned for its release!
