Joachim Eijlander & Izhar Elias - Gaspar Cassadó/ Requiebros (live @Kunstfort bij Vijfhuizen 2022)

Cellist Joachim Eijlander and guitarist Izhar Elias play ‘Requiebros’ a composition by Gaspar Cassadó from their album Dark Fire. This video was recorded in Kunstfort bij Vijfhuizen 2022

This piece by Gaspar Cassadó (1897-1966) can be found on the new album “Dark Fire” by Dutch cellist Joachim Eijlander; with music on the border of two worlds, with folk music as a recurring element.
Cassadó was a Spanish contemporary of Pablo Casals, who lived from 1897 to 1966. In fact, he may have been Casal's youngest pupil, when he studied with him in Paris in 1910. He was born in Barcelona, the son of a church musician. His father started teaching him music when he was five, and at the age of seven he began cello lessons with a prominent Barcelona cellist, who worked at the Mercedes Chapel with his father.
When Cassadó was nine years old, he played his first public performance, where he was heard by Casals, who immediately offered to give him lessons. He was given a scholarship by the city of Barcelona to go to Paris and study with Casals there. He also studied composition with Manuel de Falla and Maurice Ravel.

The cello is too loud! Can't hear the guitar at all🙉🔥. That's why you don't mix the classical guitar with other instruments...it is a quiet and intimate instrument.
