Classical Guitarist Eliot Fisk
The classical guitar — and for that matter, the instrumental root of every head-banging Guitar Hero rocker — goes back to the lute and Spanish vihuela.
In the 18th century, the modern six-string guitar emerged for a heyday. It came back, classically, with Spanish great Andres Segovia in the 1920s. And half a century later, Segovia handed the tradition to a young Eliot Fisk.
Now virtuoso in his own right, Fisk carries the torch for a musical tradition — and a role for the guitar as exquisite cultural bridge.
This hour, On Point: A conversation with classical guitar virtuoso Eliot Fisk.
Eliot Fisk tells about his time as a student of Andres Segovia and he plays the fanous Recurdos de la Alhambra by Francisco Tarrega.
