Timo Korhonen - Beethoven, Wagner, Verdi: The Tarrega Transcriptions (SECOND-HAND CD)

Timo Korhonen's album Beethoven, Wagner, Verdi: The Tárrega Transcriptions (Ondine, 2003) showcases the pioneering arrangements by Spanish guitar master Francisco Tárrega (1852–1909), who brought the orchestral and operatic works of 19th-century great masters into the classical guitar repertoire. On this recording, Korhonen interprets Tárrega's nuanced arrangements of pieces such as Beethoven's Seventh Symphony and Moonlight Sonata, Wagner's opera Tannhäuser, and Verdi's Il Trovatore. The album has received widespread international acclaim, particularly for Korhonen's technical virtuosity, dynamic expression, and ability to bring the grand compositions of the Romantic era to life on a single instrument.
