Isaac Albeniz - Sevilla
Although Albeniz composed for the piano, the pure Spanishness of his music makes his pieces a great fit for the guitar.
I like to think of the two contrasting sections of Sevilla as day (fast and energetic) and night (slow and lyrical). The work draws inspiration from both the town of Seville and the Sevillanas dance.

My New Spanish Guitar
I recently got my hands on a new guitar that was handcrafted in Spain. This instrument's fiery, raw, mysterious and rustic tone evokes Spain. Take a listen and admire its workmanship below. Come experience it at the concert!
