Regino Sáinz de la Maza was a leading guitarist, composer and teacher who earned a place in history as the first soloist to perform Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez. His compositions are deeply rooted in his Spanish identity, drawing heavily on Castilian and Andalusian folksong. Award-winning guitarist Franz Halász has selected the finest examples of Sáinz de la Maza’s creativity, including the admired Zapateado, atmospheric pieces from the film La Frontera de Dios (tracks 2, 8, 10 and 12), and the profoundly evocative Seguidilla-Sevillana.
