Thank you so much 🙏
Thank you so much for this short documentary on the life of a great musician. A well rounded presentation. My salute both to Francisco Taregga and this lovely presenter.
A thoroughly wonderful presentation of one of the greatest luminaries of the the Spanish classical guitar, Thank you Rosie Bennet for your thoughtful and very engaging biography of Francisco Tarrega
Rosie, You provided an outstanding narrative with your unique poetic prose style and lovely captivating “radio voice”. The historical context is rarely part of an arrangement; dire circumstances can sometimes be an inspiration for artistic genius. Your biographical work encourages me to do further research on his music, guitars and playing technique. I will however forgo his penchant for cigarettes 😂
Fantastic Rosie, more of this please. 😊
This is a thorough examination of the biography and influence of one of the most important figures in classical guitar. The host Rosie Bennet tells his story in an entertaining and accessible way regardless of whether the viewer has a background in classical guitar.
Beautifully presented! Thanks for sharing!
Great work Rosie! Thank you so much! All the best, Nicolas
I have my string instruments roots on ukulele and the (portuguse) cavaquinho. Tarrega is the reason i have started playing classical guitar.
This was so masterfully crafted and produced. Bravo! Simply put: Tarrega was monumental to the spanish classical guitar. You can't be a classical guitarist and have not played one of his pieces or at least heard one. I love the European history also incorporated in this episode. Cheers.

I am an true Amature. But I have played 10 pieces of Tárrega. That alone shows his monumental importance of the classical guitar.
Brava Rosie!. What a beautiful presentation with serious research behind it. Simply valuable and essential.
Thank you for this! I love his work.
Great presentation of his life's story.
Wow this was great! Informative, enjoyable and very well written! Hope to see more of these.

Not true. My father was a child molestor who ruined the lives of dozens of female children.
This is exemplary narration adding much to an already fascinating story, Bravo!
Wonderful commentary of the life of a musical legend, I've loved Spanish guitar all my life, and despite RA limiting my fingering, I have picked up the guitar again at 72, to try and produce some reasonably good renditions of the Tarrega repertoire.
No doubt Tarrega's experience playing the Piano significantly contributed to his beautiful Guitar compositions and elegant Piano transcriptions.
This is like a great musical bedtime story
A very beautiful video. Thank you for uploading it.
Wonderful and fantastic insight. Well done and thank you Rosie
Hi, i'm from Catalonia, Spain and the video location of Villareal is wrong. This city is in the other side of Spain. Please check it. Except this, the video is great!

Yes, near Valencia (we can see almost “Va…” on the map on the right hand side. Also at 5:06, there is an implication that Flamenco music with guitar accompaniment is a music “for the street”. Actually there are already the cafe cantantes where the music is performed, mostly by the small elite group of gypsy dynasties who are both working class citizens and connected to the Corrida Nacional (Bullfighting). However, as early as 1838, some of the performers called their 6 string twanger “Vihuela” which was once quite distinct from the 4 or 5 string “guitarra”. The myth that Flamenco music is some low class street folk music persists, but it is an elitist music that requires training to the degree of Marital Art schools.
Very informative and well presented, thank you!
Villareal is not between Spain and Portugal....4'40'' but I am sure Francisco would have loved the area.
So nice to see you Rosie! Great video!! Cheers
Love this episode!!! Thank you!
Bravo Rosie! Thank you very much!
This is absolutely wonderful. The host has a professional delivery and style.
Great! Thanks ❤
well done Rosie you breathe life into him and his times !!!!
This podcast/video series is superb. Looking forward to the next chapters! Personally, I really hope you include one on Manuel M. Ponce. Best wishes and congratulations!
Very good! Thanks for sharing
4:39 not the right Villareal. The one were tarrega was born in the Mediterranean east coast.
Gracias! ❤
Such an impressive talk on Tarrega, thanks!
Excellent content! What a brilliant video. Many thanks to all!
Thank you Rosie!!! I've been performing Tarrega's music in my concerts for years. He Sor and Segovia were my heroes .❤🎶🎶🎸😊
Masterclass! Bravo!
Nothing more beautiful than the sound of the English language spoken correctly. Bravo.

A star is born! Never has guitar or music history sounded so sultry, seductive, inviting, satisfying, etc. . . . I hope Tonebase has signed Ms. Bennet to a generous contract because Showtime might swoop in and place her front and center in their next Penny Dreadful series.

Thank God the Tonebase podcast is back! Yoohoo!
Very happy to see Xuefei Yang. I have a lot of appreciation for her playing of Recuerdos, but for me she is at her best when playing works of Villa-Lobos.
Thank you for the historical context of his work! I like learning about that. Do you know how Granados died? That’s a tragic story.
Great Rosie,cheers.
Thanks very much for this beautiful video of Francisco Tarrega. Greetings from Cercedilla, Spain, land of guitars.
I became acquainted with the works of Francisco Tárrega as a child, when I was very young, I played then without using my nails and this helped me master the correct tone of the instrument, and this is because when working with my father I used the method of F. Tárrega, which was taken for basis!
Great information, thanks
Thank you for the work, I enjoyed the music and history.
Never heard of this podcast until now. It’s so informative and entertaining! New sub!
not yet a minute in and u have my full attention!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful and informative information about this guitar legend in your style. I totally enjoyed this 🙏
After this video I started to feel that his story even as catchy as his music 🎶
Now, I need to subscribe to the channel and hit the notification bell.
Rosie, so interesting and thank you for this amazing presentation. So much I did not know before this.
Oops--the map of Spain at 4:40 has Villarreal on the wrong side of Spain.
OMG, her voice 😍... ASMR or good to sweet sleep 😴 Xd.
I Love your voice. I could hear you speak all day.
That voice is as captivating as about any fine piece of music...
My goodness but I love your voice! You should be hired to read audiobooks.

A very worthwhile and enjoyable video. The four questions Rosie set out to answer were on the money. I am really bothered by several comments relating to the presenter's attractiveness and ones that obsess about an historical error here and there. Go listen to some fine guitar music and be appreciative that people are out there working intelligently to bring you information like this at no cost to you.
👏👏👏💯
Brilliant account of Tarrega. For me, he is the embodiment of Spanish music (classical) and a huge influence on Paco de Lucia as a composer/performer/innovator. I often wonder whether the 'rest stroke' was actually perfected by Sor, but originated with the street performer of Flamenco? Speculation really, but the power of flamenco melody comes from the rest stroke. A very sensitive account of Tarrega. Thanks.
Seductive lisp Well done a balanced quality production
⚠⚠⚠You have a significant mistake. The Villareal on the map is located in Extremadura, in the province of Badajoz. Tárrega's Villareal (written Vila-real in Valencian) is in Valencia. See below: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villarreal

Map at 4:40 has the wrong Villareal.

True! Missed my attention in the edit - Tarrega was from Villareal in Castellon! Thanks for pointing out
Tarregas applause for you. 👏
This was captivating content and storytelling. Thank you! Just a question though…I read he made his way to England where he wrote Lagrima. What was up with that story?
😍
Lovely presentation, I'm also reading the book about his life, one thing I noticed at 4:40, is that the right Villarreal? The one often spoken about is North of Valencia? I'm curious why it's marked at Badajoz?

Thank you 🙏 and enjoy the book - it’s fascinating and absolutely beautifully written! No - the right Villarreal is indeed just beside Valencia - the map here is wrong, an oversight in the edit! Good eye for noticing 🤩
Well, that was fantastic. Now do Sor.
Will this podcast be on a regular schedule?
Villarreal is not in Portugal, sorry but that map at 4:32 is so wrong
Villarreal is not where you have located it, it's in the other side of Spain, near the Mediterranean Sea, in the province of Castellón.

Rosie you are so perfect as a host narrator. Very beautiful. 🥀🌱🌾🌻
Your map at 4:40 is wrong! He was not near the Portuguese border. He was in what is now the autonomous region of Valencia, near the east coast of Spain! Please correct this!

I saw Segovia, Bream, and Parkening in large Halls and it was never good. I was not close enough and would never see anyone with no amplification again. Andrew York was able to get a great sound with his pick ups. But there's nothing like sitting next to a virtuoso like Pierre Bensusan or Philip Rosherger live which I did many times. After years of conventional Classical playing I now use a Steel string sometimes (as does Micheal Chapdelaine) and also often improvise on Classical pieces. Please take a listen; kzread.info/dash/bejne/gqtksNSwn8Wnmbg.html
Tarrega -and many other great Spanish minds- made a mistake, which was being born on this side of the Pyrenees. If he had been born in Britain he would have been regarded as he deserved at his time, not much later. But In Spain we have never looked after ourselves.
