Eminent vihuelist Alfredo Fernández will perform a choice selection of 16th-century Spanish vihuela music by its greatest composers, Luis de Milán, Luis de Narváez, Enríquez de Valderrábano, Diego Pisador, Miguel de Fuenllana, and Esteban Daza, interspersed with selected readings from Cervantes’ Sonnets and Epitaphs.

Alfred Fernández studied guitar with Jordi Codina, Manuel González and Fernando Rodríguez, before undertaking specialist training in early plucked strings, including vihuela, baroque guitar and lute, with pre-eminent mentors such as William Waters, Rolf Lislevand, Paul O’dette and John Griffiths. He has released three solo albums to great critical acclaim from the classical music press, including Le Monde de la Musique, Gramophone, Goldberg, Scherzo, Ritmo and Lute Society Magazine and Répertoire.

The guitarrísimo series is a collaboration between the Instituto Cervantes and the Iberian and Latin American Music Society, organised with the support of The Lute Society and Wines of Spain.
