Narciso Yepes
Narciso (or Narcisso) Yepes , Spanish Guitarist (born with Lorca the November 14th 1927, died with Murcie the May 3rd 1997).
From a modest country family, Narciso obtained a guitar and finds popular airs as of its young age. He studied with the Academy of Valence. He becomes acquainted with the leader Ataúlfo Argenta, with which he creates in 1947 the Concerto of Aranjuez of Joaquin Rodrigo. He starts a great career and records parts for piano of Isaac Albéniz, Enrique Granados or Manuel of Falla, transcribed for the guitar.
He knew a great popularity thanks to his interpretation of the music of the film prohibited Jeux . It acted in this film of several parts transcribed like those of Robert de Visée or Jean-Philippe Rameau, chosen and interpreted like that of Napoleon Coste or as the famous lovesong which ended up bearing the name of film for the public. This lovesong was often allotted to him in the media, whereas it is actually about a part published by Daniel Fortea with the “anonymous” ranking and whose source is in fact a hardly altered handwritten work of Fernando Sor.
It was also one of the only guitarists of the 20th century to usually use a Guitare with ten cords, with which it recorded many transcriptions of Spanish music with the Mezzo-soprano Teresa Berganza. The French type-setter Maurice Ohana was also very interested by this instrument and composed of many works for this one.
