Search - Manuel de Falla, Miguel Llobet, Isaac Albeniz :: Homenaje

Miguel Llobet (1878-1938) was a close contemporary and friend of Manuel de Falla (1876-1946), but never became so famous. In fact, his fame stems largely from his arrangements of Falla?s music, such as his transcription for two guitars of Falla?s ballet El amor brujo. Falla?s own Homenaje pour le tombeau de Debussy is surely one of the greatest guitar works of the twentieth century, and it and other masterpieces are appropriately joined here by a work of Llobet?s own composition. Lira Orfeo was a Barcelona music society of which Llobet was both a founder and the director. This recording employs only vintage instruments with connections to Spanish and Catalan music.
