This is a live recording from when Antonio De Innocentis visited California on October 22, 2003.
Asturias, also known as Leyenda, was written by Isaac Albeniz and originally performed on the piano in the key of G minor (Gm). Since then it has been transcribed for guitar and is a favorite among classical guitarists. What is significant about this performance, by Antonio De Innocentis, is that he plays Asturias in the original key of Gm. Asturias has been considered too difficult to play on guitar in this key (Gm) and why it is normally played in a different key. I have never heard of anyone else even attempting to play Asturias in Gm.
I have his entire concert recorded and if there is a positive response to this video I will upload the rest of his performance. Enjoy!
