Arrangeur : Nicolas Herrouët « Nicolas HERROUËT, baritoniste du Quatuor de Saxophones Ellipsos, propose une nouvelle version de la partition « Asturias », extrait de la Suite Espagnole d’Isaac ALBENIZ pour piano à l’origine et rendue célèbre par la version guitare. C’est à titre posthume que l’éditeur intègre ce mouvement à la Suite dont chaque mouvement évoque le style d’une région d’Espagne. « Asturias » en devriendra alors l’extrait le plus connu, avec ses notes piquées et répétées inspirées du flamenco andalous. Cet arrangement (première partition éditée dans la collection « Quatuor Ellipsos » aux éditions Billaudot), est une pure merveille et j’en suis sûr, comblera tous les amateurs du genre. Je tiens à féliciter le « Quatuor Ellipsos » pour son action et lui souhaite avec mes plus vifs encouragements, beaucoup de succès. Jean-Yves Fourmeau Concertiste, professeur au CRR Cergy Pontoise Directeur de collection aux éditions Billaudot

The Spanish composer and pianist Isaac Albeniz (1860-1909) was one of the leading members of the Nationalist school that dominated Spanish music at the turn of the last century. Bajo La Palmera (Sous Le Palmier; Under The Palm Tree) was the third in a collection of 5 songs for the Piano inspired by Spain and Spanish culture published in 1898 as Cantos de España (Op. 232). The piece draws heavily on Spanish Gypsy dances especially the Tango.Bajo La Palmera has been transcribed for two Guitars by the Spanish Guitar virtuoso Miguel Llobet (1878-1938).
