Ana Vidovic plays Asturias by Isaac Albéniz on a Jim Redgate classical guitar

Ana Vidovic

Isaac Albéniz (1860–1909) was born in Camprodon, province of Girona, Spain. He was a virtuoso composer, conductor, and pianist.  

Asturias (Leyenda), named simply Prelude by its composer, is a musical work which lasts around six minutes in performance and it was originally written for the piano. The name Asturias (Leyenda) was given to it posthumously by the German publisher Hofmeister, who included it in the 1911 "complete version" of the Suite española, although Albéniz never intended the piece for this suite. Despite the new name, this music is not considered suggestive of the folk music of the northern Spanish region of Asturias. Albéniz's biographer, Walter Aaron Clark, describes the piece as "pure Andalusian flamenco".  The piece has become one of the most important works of the classical guitar repertoire. 

Ana Vidović is a Croatian classical guitarist. She was born in Karvolac, Croatia on 8 November 1980. As a guitarist child prodigy, she has won a number of prizes and international competitions all over the world.
