John Williams playing Asturias

The well known classical guitarist John Williams playing Asturias by Isaac Albéniz.

Asturias is the fifth movement of the Suite Española, Op. 47. It was originally composed for piano and only later transcribed to guitar by Francisco Tárrega. Many of his other compositions were also later transcribed to guitar – Albéniz himself preferred Tárrega’s guitar transcriptions to his original piano works.
