蘇孟風 古典吉他 演奏「奧圖的晚宴」Meng-Feng Su plays 《Les Soirees d'Auteuil 》by N.Coste

【About the video...】 Recorded live in concert on August 26, 2010 at 「Philamlife Auditorium」in Manila, Philippines, during 「Guitarra 2010」guitar festival. 【About the music...】 Napoléon Coste (1806-1883) was born in the French village of Amondans, of which his father, a former military man, was the mayor. He began to play the guitar at the age of six, assisted by his mother, an amateur guitarist. A serious illness caused plans for him to follow in his father's military footsteps to be abandoned. His devotion to the guitar continued, however, and after some notable successes in Valenciennes, where he lived in adolescence, he moved to Paris in 1830. There he met all the great guitarists of the time, studied with Fernando Sor and took lessons in theory and composition. In 1863 he injured his right arm, after which it never fully recovered and his performing career ended. He continued, however, to teach and compose, leaving an œuvre of over 53 brilliant works. 《Les Soirees d'Auteuil 》,op.23 is the last of his 《Sept morceaux épisodiques》, consisting of a "Sérénade" and "Scherzo", both in 3/8 time.
