Isaac Albéniz – Córdoba – performed by Espen Folmo

Córdoba, Op. 232, No. 4, is a composition by Isaac Albéniz, originally written for piano as part of Chants d'Espagne. It was first transcribed for guitar by Miguel Llobet, and has become one of the central works for classical guitar. John Williams describes the piece as "real guitar music" and which he believes to be partly inspired by the Great Mosque of Córdoba, Andalusia. The beauty and romance, which is the particular charm of the city of Cordoba, also inspired this composition. Performed by Espen Folmo on a guitar crafted by Stephen Hill.
