John Williams returns to the Gothic Palace to play one of the most celebrated virtuoso compositions for guitar: Asturias from Suite Española by Albeniz, a musical impression of the region on the northern coast of Spain. The Halls of Carlos V, as they are known today, were first remodeled in the thirteenth century and have had a connection with all Spanish monarchs to the present time. The royal family maintains the tradition by retaining a suite of private apartments in the Alcazar for use during their visits to Seville.

My 93 years old mother who has some dementia heard this performance and broke into tears.
-
See.. my guitar does not do that.
-
A person isn't just born with a talent like this. Can you imagine the dedication to develop it, though? That is I admire.
-
Simply the finest rendition I've heard. Even some masters sound a bit rushed at times. Not John Williams. Perfection.
-
The maestro plays superbly. The best performance of this work that has ever been performed. my deepest respect.
-
It's incredible that this exists. Glad I didn't die without hearing it.

I was born in Asturias (live in Australia), the first time I'd heard the riff was via The Doors Spanish Caravan. Then I got to the real stuff! Makes me quite proud. Nostalgic.
-
After almost 10 Years, I finally found it! My Guitar teacher used to always play this song, and i was always fascinated because she would play it when i would get frustrated about not changing chords fast enough or always having to look at my hand and she played that song, with her eyes closed and told me that for her to be able to do so she had to practice for years. I hope she's doung well ❤
