Eliot Fisk And Paco Peña

From NPR, a historic meeting

by 

Eliot Fisk looks like the happiest man on the planet. Watch that face as he plays guitar. Between performing music by J.S. Bach and partnering with the world’s best flamenco guitarist, Paco Peña, Fisk can barely control his joy. I find his exuberance and their performance undeniably brilliant, inspiring and so completely universal.

Set List

  • Domenico Scarlatti: Sonata in D Major K.33
  • Bach: Prelude in F major, BWV 927
  • Sabicas: “Farruca”
  • Peña: “El nuevo día (Colombiana)”
