Classical/guitar, Jim Greeninger, Recuerdos de la Alhambra
03:48 Minutoswww.jimgreeninger.com - Guitar/classical, Recuerdos de la Alhambra, by Francisco Tarrega. Jim studied for several years with Maestro Andres Segovia. The guitar Jim is playing was built by himself and was recorded directly from the Baggs pickup via wireless transmitter and a live performance mic in the hall. This is because of the number of children and noise in the theater. It seemed to be the best way to accomplish a good recording, however, it does often sound like you are directly next to the guitar. Also hear this great piece by Pepe Romaro, Christopher Parkening, John Williams, and Julian Bream.

Al-Andalus : Alhambra Palace ??? ???????
10:00 MinutosAl-Andalus (Arabic: ???????) was the Arabic name given to those parts of the Iberian Peninsula governed by Muslims, at various times in the period between 711 and 1492. It refers to the Umayyad Caliphate province (711-750), Emirate of Cordoba (c. 750-929) and Caliphate of Cordoba (929-1031) and its "taifa" ("successor") kingdoms. The Alhambra (Arabic: ??????? ; literally "the red") is a palace and fortress complex of the Moorish monarchs of Granada, in southern Spain (known as Al-Andalus when the fortress was constructed), occupying a hilly terrace on the south-eastern border of the city of Granada. It was the residence of the Muslim kings of Granada and their court, but is currently a museum exhibiting exquisite Islamic architecture. Related Video: An Islamic History of Europe www.youtube.com

El conjunto de los Palacios Nazaríes se completa con el complejo de edificios situados alrededor del Patio de los Leones, quizá el lugar más emblemático de la Alhambra. Éste era el núcleo de la residencia privada del sultán, en el que también había unas dependencias destinadas a las mujeres. Junto a los ...
