Every great man has a great father!!

[@ggeorge4144]

Not true. My father was a child molestor who ruined the lives of dozens of female children.

[@12Bavado]

Thank you Rosie for your sensitive narration of this impressive biography. It shows your deep understanding of Tárrega's art and life. Simply wonderful.

[@edwinrivera1709]

Thank you for the history and my lovely music of francisco tarrega! I'm very happy!

Great to see you Rosie! Your voice and your playing are beautiful

[@RosieBennetGuitar]

[@albertjacobs2567]

Thank you so much for this short documentary on the life of a great musician. A well rounded presentation. My salute both to Francisco Taregga and this lovely presenter.

[@markfilippone3845]

Thank you O Beautiful Sister Rosie for sharing the Gifts you have so lovingly prepared for us. You are an exquisitely blessed gentle sensitive young woman, graced with a calming sonorous wondrous voice which reveals your inner poise, grace and timeless physical and spiritual Beauty. Now at 76 years of age following a doldrum of some fifty plus years i can now thank GOD for His grace which allows me to resume my guitar studies. Once again accept our thanks for the Gift of this Presentation!

Hi, i'm from Catalonia, Spain and the video location of Villareal is wrong. This city is in the other side of Spain. Please check it. Except this, the video is great!

[@RicardoMarlowFlamenco]

Yes, near Valencia (we can see almost “Va…” on the map on the right hand side. Also at 5:06, there is an implication that Flamenco music with guitar accompaniment is a music “for the street”. Actually there are already the cafe cantantes where the music is performed, mostly by the small elite group of gypsy dynasties who are both working class citizens and connected to the Corrida Nacional (Bullfighting). However, as early as 1838, some of the performers called their 6 string twanger “Vihuela” which was once quite distinct from the 4 or 5 string “guitarra”. The myth that Flamenco music is some low class street folk music persists, but it is an elitist music that requires training to the degree of Marital Art schools.

[@michaelmckinney7240]

A thoroughly wonderful presentation of one of the greatest luminaries of the the Spanish classical guitar, Thank you Rosie Bennet for your thoughtful and very engaging biography of Francisco Tarrega

[@AntigoniGoniguitar]

Brava Rosie!. What a beautiful presentation with serious research behind it. Simply valuable and essential.

[@JohnvanderGeest558]

Great presentation of his life's story.

[@glenndavid8725]

Fantastic Rosie, more of this please. 😊

[@BS38114]

I have my string instruments roots on ukulele and the (portuguse) cavaquinho. Tarrega is the reason i have started playing classical guitar.

[@JustinHatt1]

This was so masterfully crafted and produced. Bravo! Simply put: Tarrega was monumental to the spanish classical guitar. You can't be a classical guitarist and have not played one of his pieces or at least heard one. I love the European history also incorporated in this episode. Cheers.

[@mattiasjohnsson3340]

I am an true Amature. But I have played 10 pieces of Tárrega. That alone shows his monumental importance of the classical guitar.

[@chrisstanford3652]

Rosie, You provided an outstanding narrative with your unique poetic prose style and lovely captivating “radio voice”. The historical context is rarely part of an arrangement; dire circumstances can sometimes be an inspiration for artistic genius. Your biographical work encourages me to do further research on his music, guitars and playing technique. I will however forgo his penchant for cigarettes 😂

[@NicolasKyriakou]

Great work Rosie! Thank you so much! All the best, Nicolas

[@dimitri2576]

Thank you for this! I love his work.

[@johncrookes981]

Wonderful commentary of the life of a musical legend, I've loved Spanish guitar all my life, and despite RA limiting my fingering, I have picked up the guitar again at 72, to try and produce some reasonably good renditions of the Tarrega repertoire.

[@PauReydefaura]

Villareal is not between Spain and Portugal....4'40'' but I am sure Francisco would have loved the area.

[@PatColdrick]

Wonderful and fantastic insight. Well done and thank you Rosie

[@louisz706]

This is a thorough examination of the biography and influence of one of the most important figures in classical guitar. The host Rosie Bennet tells his story in an entertaining and accessible way regardless of whether the viewer has a background in classical guitar.

[@latinguitarmastery]

[@toddbabcock4103]

Thank God the Tonebase podcast is back! Yoohoo!

[@picksalot1]

No doubt Tarrega's experience playing the Piano significantly contributed to his beautiful Guitar compositions and elegant Piano transcriptions.

[@tonyspada2744]

Thank you Rosie!!! I've been performing Tarrega's music in my concerts for years. He Sor and Segovia were my heroes .❤🎶🎶🎸😊

[@TrueManCrowyote]

A star is born! Never has guitar or music history sounded so sultry, seductive, inviting, satisfying, etc. . . . I hope Tonebase has signed Ms. Bennet to a generous contract because Showtime might swoop in and place her front and center in their next Penny Dreadful series.

Very happy to see Xuefei Yang. I have a lot of appreciation for her playing of Recuerdos, but for me she is at her best when playing works of Villa-Lobos.

[@TheLRider]

Hugely interesting and educational, thank you..

[@k030235]

I became acquainted with the works of Francisco Tárrega as a child, when I was very young, I played then without using my nails and this helped me master the correct tone of the instrument, and this is because when working with my father I used the method of F. Tárrega, which was taken for basis!

[@stephenverderber112]

Glad to see you back in the podcast world!

[@Drzahman]

4:39 not the right Villareal. The one were tarrega was born in the Mediterranean east coast.

[@ticovogt]

A very worthwhile and enjoyable video. The four questions Rosie set out to answer were on the money. I am really bothered by several comments relating to the presenter's attractiveness and ones that obsess about an historical error here and there. Go listen to some fine guitar music and be appreciative that people are out there working intelligently to bring you information like this at no cost to you.

[@TheOneGoodRoad]

Lovely presentation, I'm also reading the book about his life, one thing I noticed at 4:40, is that the right Villarreal? The one often spoken about is North of Valencia? I'm curious why it's marked at Badajoz?

[@RosieBennetGuitar]

Thank you 🙏 and enjoy the book - it’s fascinating and absolutely beautifully written! No - the right Villarreal is indeed just beside Valencia - the map here is wrong, an oversight in the edit! Good eye for noticing 🤩

[@peterstephen1562]

Seductive lisp Well done a balanced quality production

[@Roberto_MR]

Great information, thanks

[@fusion-music]

Brilliant account of Tarrega. For me, he is the embodiment of Spanish music (classical) and a huge influence on Paco de Lucia as a composer/performer/innovator. I often wonder whether the 'rest stroke' was actually perfected by Sor, but originated with the street performer of Flamenco? Speculation really, but the power of flamenco melody comes from the rest stroke. A very sensitive account of Tarrega. Thanks.

[@joelpenazzo7248]

Great! Thanks ❤

[@masemax99]

Map at 4:40 has the wrong Villareal.

[@RosieBennetGuitar]

True! Missed my attention in the edit - Tarrega was from Villareal in Castellon! Thanks for pointing out

[@pauserra3000]

Villarreal is not in Portugal, sorry but that map at 4:32 is so wrong

[@farhadtajarobi1714]

This was captivating content and storytelling. Thank you! Just a question though…I read he made his way to England where he wrote Lagrima. What was up with that story?

[@alirezakarimi7375]

Tarregas applause for you. 👏

[@robinterkzer8128]

Wondrous !

[@robertoriggio117]

Your map at 4:40 is wrong! He was not near the Portuguese border. He was in what is now the autonomous region of Valencia, near the east coast of Spain! Please correct this!

⚠⚠⚠You have a significant mistake. The Villareal on the map is located in Extremadura, in the province of Badajoz. Tárrega's Villareal (written Vila-real in Valencian) is in Valencia. See below: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villarreal

Tarrega was the least Spanish sounding composer, his influence was Chopin and he composed many Mazurkas, Polkas, Waltzes as well as transcribing Chopin for guitar. That is why you can't hear strong accents in Tarrega's msuic as it is usually the case in Spanish music. F. Tarrega was a true representative of European Romanticism and was able to accomplish with Spanish Music similar to that of Chopin with Polish folk music and create a staple sound of that period.

[@AnthonyJstark-vz4so]

Explain the the spanish sound "accent" that is missing in tàrregas music?

[@beatzrhymesofficial]

The traditional phrases and rhythmical patterns such as in flamenco music, Spanish folk dances, Fandango, Sevillanas which can be heard in music of Albeniz, De Falla, Rodrigo, Turina and later Torroba. Tarrega did write Capricho Arabe and Danza Mora where he payed tribute to the Moorish culture but generally the romanticist seemed to stray away from those cliches. @@AnthonyJstark-vz4so

[@AnthonyJstark-vz4so]

@@beatzrhymesofficial So Spanish music is only characterized as andalucian?

[@beatzrhymesofficial]

Off course not, perhaps that is why Tarrega is so important to the Spanish as well as Western Classical Music. @@AnthonyJstark-vz4so

[@AnthonyJstark-vz4so]

@@beatzrhymesofficial Well that's why he's called the "Father of Classical Guitar."

[@jesusdominguezsalanova2583]

The place you put for Villareal is wrong. You placed it in another village in the border with Portugal. Villareal, the village in which Tarrega was born is in the East.
