Guitar Love Songs with guitarist Agustín Maruri is a collection of universally famous songs from various composers. Each of these composers were stars within their own categories.
We include music like the world famous “Estrellita” by Ponce, Ravel’s famous “Pavane” in a rare but very effective guitar arrangement. From the “12 Songs” by Toru Takemitsu, Maruri has selected 6, including “Summertime” by George Gershwin, “Over the Rainbow” by Harold Arlen, “Secret Love” by Sammy Fain, “Londonderry Air”, the beloved Irish folk song, and John Lennon and Paul McCartney “Michelle” and “Yesterday” each of them rewritten in the unique musical language of the great Toru Takemitsu.
We present a guitar version of “El día que me quieras” by Carlos Gardel composed by the great Argentinian guitar tango player Anibal Arias. “Terry’s Theme” by Charlie Chaplin is also included, Osvaldo Farrés, “Quizás, quizás, quizás”, Agustín Lara , “Solamente una vez” and Henry Mancini’s “Sunflower”.
Following these unforgettable melodies we return to the guitar world with the intimate and personal style of Yuquijiro Yocoh and his unmistakable “Sakura variations” and just to remind ourselves that he wrote other pieces beside this, we present his “Old Irish Song”. In a programme such as this we couldn’t exclude the beautiful “Alfonsina y el mar” by Ariel Ramirez.

Press reviews
Tunepical
The gentle embrace of the guitar tones wraps the listener in a warm embrace, transporting them to different realms where quietude resides, allowing one to savour the just over five-minute piece of freedom and solitude that your heart craves

Agustín Maruri its a guitarist that has dedicated his recordings to Classical repertoire and to many memorable “First World” Premiers like his Falckenhagen or Matiegka performances (to mention only two). Either solo or as a chamber musician his excellence has been applauded by music reviewers.
I never thought I would find an album like this from him. Where you find music by Carlos Gardel, Charlie Chaplin, Osvaldo Farrés, Agustín Lara and Henry Mancini alone with pieces by Ravel, Ponce, Mompou or Takemitsu. He also provides lovely recreations based on songs by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Gershwin and Sammy Fain.
Everyone should have this album, I am sure you will love all the tracks.

An absolute revelation!
Beautiful songs beautifully performed. Agustín Maruri combines a tender, profound romanticism with a limpid, crisp, clean tone. Inspired!
