Default Andrew York's "Portrait of Tárrega"

The great player and modern composer Andrew York was commissioned by Guitar Salon International to compose a piece to honor Francisco Tárrega, which he called "Portrait of Tárrega".
Not only that, but to premiere the piece and perform it on a 1883 Torres guitar that belonged to Tárrega. It doesn't get much more vintage than that!
Thought you might like to hear it:

Prior to joining this community, I have never heard of Andrew York.....so the chances of me finding this tune would be slim. Thank you, Andre, for sharing this. It was delightful.
