Joaquín Clerch’s "El Primer Instante De Una Primavera" (The First Moment of a Spring) is a captivating work that draws listeners into a vivid musical portrayal of renewal, awakening, and the delicate beauty of spring’s arrival. Written by Clerch, a Cuban composer and guitarist celebrated for his inventive and emotive compositions, the piece is a testament to his mastery in bridging traditional and contemporary elements in classical guitar music. Julia recorded this piece on a 2024 Pepe Romero classical guitar made with cedar top and CSA rosewood back and sides.

Here's Julia Trintschuk performing Joaquin Clerch's arrangement of "Alfonsina Y El Mar (Zamba)" by Ariel Ramirez. Alfonsina y el Mar (Alfonsina and the Sea), composed by Argentine musician Ariel Ramírez with lyrics by Félix Luna, is one of the most poignant and beloved pieces in the Latin American repertoire. Written in 1969 as part of Ramírez's song cycle Mujeres Argentinas (Argentine Women), the piece is a heartfelt homage to the celebrated Argentine poet Alfonsina Storni, whose life and tragic death have inspired generations. Julia recorded this piece on a 2024 Ariel Ameijenda "1885 Torres - SE 81" classical guitar made with spruce top and CSA rosewood back and sides.

"Danza del Terror" is an electrifying piece from Manuel de Falla’s ballet "El Amor Brujo" (Love, the Magician), which premiered in 1915. A cornerstone of Spanish classical music, "El Amor Brujo" tells the story of a young Andalusian gypsy woman named Candela, haunted by the ghost of her unfaithful lover. Julia recorded this piece on a 2024 Julia Wenzel classical guitar made with cedar top and African rosewood back and sides.

Manuel de Falla’s "La Vida Breve" (The Brief Life) is a poignant and powerful work that holds a special place in the Spanish operatic repertoire. Composed in 1905-1913, this one-act opera reflects Falla’s deep connection to the traditions of his Andalusian homeland. Its evocative melodies, rhythmic vitality, and dramatic intensity embody the essence of Spanish music. Julia recorded this video on a 2024 Moonseok Choi "Nomad" classical guitar made with spruce top and African rosewood back and sides.

"El Adiós" by Joaquín Clerch is a deeply expressive work that captures the universal emotions of farewell and longing. As a renowned Cuban guitarist and composer, Clerch is celebrated for his ability to blend technical sophistication with profound emotional depth, and El Adiós exemplifies these qualities.
