This year, the undisputed protagonist was the young guitarist <strong>Nacho M\u00e1rquez<\/strong>, who won first prize thanks to his profound and expressive interpretation of <em data-start=\"449\" data-end=\"469\">Alc\u00e1zar de Segovia<\/em> by Spanish composer Federico Moreno Torroba.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-7\" data-start=\"516\" data-end=\"778\">But beyond his technical and musical virtuosity, one detail deserves to be highlighted: <strong>Nacho M\u00e1rquez chose a Ram\u00edrez Sencilla Cl\u00e1sica guitar for this performance<\/strong>\u2014an instrument that reflects a conscious choice for artisanal quality, heritage, and balanced sound.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ai-optimize-20\" data-start=\"1075\" data-end=\"1134\">The Ram\u00edrez Sencilla Cl\u00e1sica Guitar: An Ally of Talent<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-8\" data-start=\"840\" data-end=\"1211\">The <strong>Sencilla Cl\u00e1sica 2\u00aa model<\/strong> belongs to our line of handmade concert guitars. It is designed for performers seeking a demanding, noble instrument sensitive to nuance. Its solid cedar top, rosewood back and sides, and understated finish provide perfect sound projection for the classical repertoire. This is not a student guitar\u2014it is a gateway to the professional world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-9\" data-start=\"1213\" data-end=\"1524\">Choosing this model in such a prestigious competition says a lot about M\u00e1rquez\u2019s musical criteria: he trusts an instrument that allows him to reveal the full tonal richness of his interpretation without gimmicks. His performance was not only technically flawless but also conveyed emotion, character, and style.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ai-optimize-23\" data-start=\"1867\" data-end=\"1901\">Watch the full performance<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-33\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mHR-NkAQNpY?si=DqOtjNepWW3go2bd\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ai-optimize-24\" data-start=\"2071\" data-end=\"2128\">Why Do So Many Concert Guitarists Choose Ram\u00edrez Guitars?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-10\" data-start=\"1626\" data-end=\"1927\">From Andr\u00e9s Segovia and Narciso Yepes to contemporary musicians like Caetano Veloso and Aniello Desiderio, our history is deeply intertwined with that of the great performers. Today, <strong>young artists like Nacho M\u00e1rquez continue to trust Ram\u00edrez Guitars<\/strong>\u2014not out of nostalgia, but in pursuit of excellence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-11\" data-start=\"1929\" data-end=\"2233\">Ram\u00edrez guitars are not just instruments\u2014they are companions on the artistic journey. Built with the rigor of Spanish tradition and modern attention to performer comfort, our Madrid workshop continues to craft each guitar as a unique work of art, designed to project the sound and emotions of the artist.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ai-optimize-27\" data-start=\"2778\" data-end=\"2819\">Tradition Continues in Young Hands<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-12\" data-start=\"2280\" data-end=\"2569\">The story of Nacho M\u00e1rquez and his Ram\u00edrez Sencilla Cl\u00e1sica guitar is an example of how heritage and youth are not at odds. On the contrary: when a young performer chooses to express themselves with a guitar built with the same values as over a century ago, the result is always authentic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-13\" data-start=\"2571\" data-end=\"2844\">And this intergenerational encounter doesn\u2019t end at a single competition. For many musicians, their first Ram\u00edrez marks a before and after in their careers. It\u2019s the beginning of a relationship with an instrument that responds, evolves, and transforms alongside its player.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-14\" data-start=\"2846\" data-end=\"3105\">Nacho M\u00e1rquez\u2019s story is another chapter in the long legacy of Guitarras Ram\u00edrez. We are proud to know our guitars continue to be chosen by artists with vision and sensitivity. And we celebrate that the Sencilla Cl\u00e1sica 2\u00aa model played a part in this triumph.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-32\" data-start=\"3693\" data-end=\"3901\">\ud83d\udd38 <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/guitarrasramirez.com\/en\/producto\/sencilla-concert-classical-guitar\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"3696\" data-end=\"3810\">Discover the Sencilla Cl\u00e1sica 2\u00aa model<\/a><br data-start=\"3810\" data-end=\"3813\" \/>\ud83d\udd38 <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fundaciondonjuandeborbon.org\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"3816\" data-end=\"3901\">Learn more about the Alc\u00e1zar de Segovia Competition<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Alc\u00e1zar de Segovia Guitar Competition is one of the most anticipated events for lovers of classical guitar in Spain.
