On this occasion, we have the honor of sharing a performance that embodies our essence: the “Fantasía sobre la Malagueña” by Francisco Tárrega, performed by the virtuoso Pedro Jesús Gómez.
What makes this recording truly special is not only Pedro Jesús’s technique but the instrument that gives voice to the notes: a guitar built by Amalia Ramírez. This union between composer, performer, and luthier creates an atmosphere of authenticity that is only achieved when each element respects the tradition of the Ramírez workshop. This union between composer, performer, and guitar maker creates a very special atmosphere.
Francisco Tárrega and the Malagueña: a journey to the roots
Francisco Tárrega, a central figure of the modern classical guitar, had the unique ability to elevate popular Spanish tunes to the category of sublime art. In his Fantasía sobre la Malagueña, Tárrega explores the expressive possibilities of the instrument, alternating moments of technical virtuosity with passages of moving lyrical delicacy.
The voice of Amalia Ramírez
Amalia Ramírez’s guitars are known for their balance and their ability to project an emotional depth that resonates with the soul of the performer. Listening to Pedro Jesús Gómez in this live recording, one can perceive the clarity of the harmonics and the richness of the basses, distinctive characteristics of our house.
Pedro Jesús Gómez: mastery and sensitivity
Pedro Jesús Gómez is a performer who understands the importance of historical context. His approach to this piece stands out for an absolute respect for Tárrega’s score, yet with a very personal contribution to the piece. The opportunity to hear this historical instrument is undoubtedly a luxury for those of us who have the pleasure of enjoying it.
