The Italian cello virtuoso Luigi Boccherini is best known today as the composer of the A major minuet from one of his numerous string quintets. But its significance for music history goes far beyond this small piece. He worked as a court musician in Madrid for over 30 years, which did not go without influence on his work. The sonically exquisite combination of the classical string quartet with the genuinely Spanish guitar is entirely Boccherini's invention.
Pablo de Sarasate was a 19th century violin virtuoso celebrated throughout Europe, to whom some of the greatest composers of his time dedicated important works. In his own works he occasionally evokes the folklore of his Spanish homeland, including in the brilliant cabinet piece "Navarra" from 1889, which refers to the region of his birthplace, Pamplona.
The widely traveled pianist Isaac Albéniz is considered the father of modern Spanish music. "Asturias" is his best-known piece, which soon appeared in numerous arrangements for various ensembles. Its musical composition is so closely based on guitar technique that it is hard to believe that it was originally composed for piano.
The residency gala concerts are accompanied by an introduction by a renowned musicologist.

Munich Residence
The Munich Residence served as the seat of government and residence of the Bavarian dukes, electors and kings from 1508 to 1918. What began in 1385 as a castle in the north-eastern corner of the city (the Neuveste, or new citadel), was transformed by the rulers over the centuries into a magnificent palace, its buildings and gardens extending further and further into the town.
The rooms and art collections spanning a period that begins with the Renaissance, and extends via the early Baroque and Rococo epochs to Neoclassicism, bear witness to the discriminating taste and the political ambition of the Wittelsbach dynasty.
