Eos Guitar Quartet - El alma de Paco

A Tribute to Paco de Lucía
On the seventh anniversary of his death, the Spanish master guitarist Paco de Lucía is the focus of the Eos Guitar Quartet’s new CD. For the four musicians, his music, his innovative power and not least their personal contact with him were a constant source of inspiration.
As an expression of this great admiration, the Eos Guitar Quartet asked the three composers, Leo Brouwer, John McLaughlin and José Antonio Rodríguez, to compose works for the ensemble under the motto «Tribute to Paco de Lucía». The results are an outstanding enrichment to the guitarquartet’s repertoire.
In the spirit of Paco, the Eos Guitar Quartet plays original compositions by Marcel Ege and David Sautter alongside three dances by Manuel de Falla. The voice of the legendary flamenco singer Carmen Linares and the subtle accompaniment of the percussionist Ricardo Espinosa add a special dimension to the CD.
