Collected Guitar Works

A contemporary of Albéniz, the highly literate blind guitarist Manjón (1866-1919) apparently started his guitar studies with a pupli of Aguado. He enjoyed a high reputation and was probably the first to transcribe the Bach Chaconne for the guitar. A young Miguel Llobet was so impressed after hearing him that he decided to dedicate himself to the guitar. He was also admired by Agustín Barrios who asked him for lessons. We are proud to present this volume of Manjón's music which combines both elements of Flamenco and Latin-American music, to give an innovative and unique blend of guitar music.
