Music from the time of Cervantes
Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes was a larger-than-life character who created larger-than-life characters, most notably, Don Quixote. Guitarist William Kanengiser was fascinated by 16th century Spain in which men clashed swords with Moorish soldiers and windmills, real and imagined, and he began collecting music from that era. The men of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet play music from the time of Cervantes from a live concert in South Carolina.
