    I played in the cello section in a performance of Aranjuez at Madison with the guitar professor there, Javier Calderon, who studied with Segovia. Haunting is right. I don’t know this Fantasia as well. Thanks for sharing it.

    (Calderon’s website says he is also an accomplished cellist and “studied interpretation” with Janos Starker. I didn’t know that. I don’t know if he studied with Starker on the cello or they worked on guitar literature – knowing Starker’s self-contained nature I’m guessing the former – but it’s an amazing thing to have studied with masters on that level on two different instruments. I played juries with Calderon on the panel; I’m glad I knew none of that then. I was nervous enough.)Report

    Fantasía para un Gentilhombre was gorgeous and light and now I can’t remember why guitars are not part of orchestral music all the time.Report
