Ana Archilés - Tàrrega... de la guitarra d'Ana al plectre de 'La Tàrrega' (2019)

That Francesc Tàrrega is one of the most important musicians of the province is not unknown to most of the population. Indeed, it is probable that it is more often understood, among a juvenile audience, for his figure as such than for his compositions. And the name of the guitarist resonates everywhere, from orchestras or artistic competitions, to secondary schools or municipal theaters. However, one should not forget that what makes him big is his contributions as a virtuous interpreter. The experts point out the compositions of Tàrrega as the "resurgence" of this instrument for use in concert in the 20th century, because their scores helped to extend the technical and expressive possibilities of the Spanish guitar. Also, there are few artists who can say that they triumphed in the halls of exile Isabel II of Spain. And since the villa-real was in Paris in 1881 to collaborate in the centenary of Calderón de la Barca, he did not stop visiting other cities such as London, Brussels, Bern or Rome.

His legacy is, therefore, as admired as numerous, at the same time as it has inspired generations and generations. Among his enthusiasts, at present, the guitarist of Almassora, Ana Archilés, stands out. "If I say that since I was born it would not be true, but since I am right to admire the work of Francesc Tàrrega. When I heard it, it was a love at first glance," acknowledges the artist. In some way, music began to be professionalized already from the beginning of his hand, since at the age of eleven he entered the Conservatory 'Maestro Tárrega' of Castellón and since 1989 he has been member of the Orchestra of Poles and Pua Francesc Tàrrega.
