Prelude No. 5 Performed On Tarrega’s Guitar (“La Leona“)

Wulfin Lieske performs Francisco Tárrega’s “Prelude No. 5“ on the composer’s very own guitar, built by the luthier Antonio de Torres in 1856 and named “La Leona.” It is also called the “mother of all classical guitars”, for it established many of the construction standards that classical guitars still have to this day. In his 3-part series “The Spirit Of Tárrega,“ Wulfin discusses Tárrega’s revolutionary approach to guitar technique and compositional style. Through an exploration of Tárrega’s pieces, Wulfin shares the composer’s innovations and broad use of colors, and the impact of the guitar’s construction had on him.
