The King of Guitar, Marco Tamayo

Cuban-born virtuoso Marco Tamayo gave a spectacular concert in Palo Alto last Saturday as part of the Peninsula Guitar Series to begin his short US tour. He dazzled the audience with works by Couperin, Bach, Sor, Grieg, Tchaikovsky, and Barrios. His playing was about as virtuosic as I can imagine but with a refinement of age and seemingly unlimited amount of nuance and stylistic brilliance. Here are some recent videos that I’ve come across recently that say it all but if you have a chance to go to a live concert, I guarantee it is a whole different experience.
