“Asturias”, also given the name “Leyenda”, is the prelude to a three-movement suite written for the piano by Isaac Albéniz. Arranged most famously for guitar by the virtuoso Andrés Segovia, “Asturias” has become an essential work in the classical guitar tradition.

She reminds us that we have a lot of freedom with this piece, but that some dynamic and technical decisions communicate more effectively than others.
