"Only one thing is more beautiful to hear than a guitar, and that is two
guitars." Frederik Chopin
This weekend's Classical Break
features music for the Guitar. Written by Mike Burrows and presented by Rupert
Kirkham, the programme takes a look at music written for the world's most
ubiquitous instrument.
Most of the music in the programme comes from the
birthplace of the guitar we know today - Spain, with compositions by Joaquin
Rodrigo (1901-99), Miguel Llobet-Soles (1878-1938), Fernando Sor (1778-1839),
Francisco Tarrega (1852-1909), Isaac Albeniz (1860-1909) but we start with a
piece by from Argentinian composer, Jorge Gomez-Crespo (1900-1971).
