Ernesto Lecuona Malaguena from the Suite Andalucia Thomas Tirino, Pianist Recorded live November 14, 2003 at the University of Miami, Gusman Concert Hall
This is an awesome piece of music and beautifully played. My18-year-old nephew played this piece last month in a Utah state high competition and won a Sterling Scholar. The highest honor awarded in any Utah high school competition. Way to play Dave!
So much feeling! Wonderful! Thanks for sharing! This is a fiery song and he definitely caught the fire! Me and this song as a favorite go way way back to the early 1960s when I first heard it and fell in love. I was maybe 6 or 7 at the time. I also fell in love with Mariachi music and Flamenco. This is such a famous piece and honors the man who wrote it. 😊
Loved Malaguena from the time I was a young child. Lecuona is always a favorite when it comes to Spanish/Cuban classics. I remember when Mr. Trevino came to UM to perform -- it was a special treat! Go Canes!
whew! amazing, amazing! the control...dynamics, i love the sounds of the bass towards the end that he hammers out...i wish i had the money to buy myself a steinway grand...
Such beauty. Such power. Delicate yet emotional. I'm going to try and duplicate his style the next time i sit down at the piano. Yes, played w/ such love and compassion. LOVE IT. I can still hear it. BRAVO111111111111
Malaguena's music will remain the sad voice coming from the depths of tortured hearts, then it will continue to scream in order to declare its wounds over the years that it will continue to receive the pain of wounds and forever....🌍
How wonderful it is to hear the composer play his own composition. His performance is beautiful and exceptionally fine. I noticed that he added a few notes that are not in my edition of Malaguena.
Stands well played side-by-side with Montoya's guitar version. He renders reaquedo like a guitarist, which I suppose was his intent, while maintaining the authority of his instrument. Bravo, señor maestro!
I loved playing this in High School...more mature now, more expression, less bravura. This performance is the perfect rendering of Flamenco on the keyboard!!
Excellent, more pleasant Cuban music that will always be the representation of an era, a wonderful composer Ernesto Lecuona, and a people .................Excelente, la musica mas agradable Cubana que siempre sera la representacion de una epoca ,un magnifico compositor Ernesto Lecuona, y un Pueblo.................
+Amha Ademasu , May have donated those books... I had two one was 7 danzas cubanas the other was the waltzes. Donated them when we moved from portland area, I see you might be from Seattle judging by the profile pic.
On this day exactly seventy years ago {November 14th, 1948} Ernesto Lecuona performed his 1928 composition, "Malaguena", on the CBS-TV network's Sunday-night variety program, 'The Toast of the Town', hosted by Ed Sullivan... Seven years later on January 30th, 1955 Caterina Valente's covered version of the song peaked at #42 on the Cash Box Top 100 chart... In 1960 Connie Francis also covered the song, and her version also peaked at #42, but on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, the record's A-side, "My Heart Has A Mind of Its Own", reached #1 {for 2 weeks}... Ernesto Lecuona Casado passed away on November 29th, 1963 at the age of 68... May he R.I.P.
Gran interpretación. Me encantó ....sobre todo porque es reflejo de la partitura original . Excelente pianista !!! Desde argentina, Felicitaciones !!!!
Bravo! I love this song and you performed it brilliantly. You have inspired me to play it with my husband, virtuoso guitarist, Jeff Linsky. Smiles and Thank you! Lisa Linsky
@SomeDude0nline also, he's not a beginner, he's obviously a professional of the highest caliber. People who have been playing piano for many years (like me) struggle BIG TIME with this piece. It is NOT a beginner's piece.
Si Ernesto Lecuona ha nacido en Cuba es una verdad como una catedral, pero también es cierto que era Español porque en aquel entonces Cuba tenia el rango de ser territorio Español, teniendo representantes políticos en el parlamento español dicho de una manera mas simple eran ciudadanos de España,y la música de Lecuona tenia de ambas culturas la Española y la Afro-cubana.
Luis Caig yo soy español y siento una gran admiración por Cuba,gracias por expresar sus sentimientos hacia España en español, y espero que cambie de opinión en un futuro próximo sobre España, no olvide que hace 500 años en Cuba existía el canibalismo y en España se vendían y compraban personas eran hechos que hoy en día repugnan, no podemos vivir con odio por lo que sucedió hace tantos años.
Listen to Lecuona himself playing his own composition. Very different- rough, full of passion. I’m sure he likes Tirino’s wonderful and refined interpretation as well.
Si pueden conseguir la interpretacion de Everardo ordaz y orquesta a la musica de lecuona.sera una experiencia inolvidable ya que se enriquece con las percusiones y le da un toque magistral , y por cierto si alguien tiene el disco de vinilo y lo puede subir completo a you tube . Mucho se lo agradecere.
I like this version very much. Too many times it seem Malaguaena is an excuise to pound the keys. This is a more delicate version which allows the listener to precieve more in the in the music. facinating.
I'm playing this in marching band, along with bolero and una und cabenza (idk what it's precisely called). This part is by far the hardest in terms of music and visual work (we have to march at 164 bpm after an accelerando.
Oh no, I have to play this, it seems harder than rondo alla Turca 😁 my teacher was like, LETS JUST GO HARDER AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO A POOR 11 YEAR OLD 😂😂😂
TheSlimebox Gaming don't be afraid of playing this piece.... my son is doing fantastic he is 7 years old he plays a slightly different version but same difficulties.... only been playing piano x 6 months Don't give up !!!!
Do you have that music sheet?
I hope one day I will be as good as you

Reminds me of the way my father played it before he passed.. thank you!
Casey Johnson la
you are one lucky son. may your father RIP
That makes two of us Casey ... only reason I knew the name of it.
One of my favorite renditions so far -- expansive demonstration of tempo and dynamics.
So much feeling! Wonderful! Thanks for sharing! This is a fiery song and he definitely caught the fire!

I love this ! I actually could play Lecuona at age 12. When I mastered Malaguena, I told my parents I no longer needed lessons.
Incredible! This guy, Tirino, has so much power. Nice phrasing. I love Lecuona. Hermosa musica!
Loved Malaguena from the time I was a young child. Lecuona is always a favorite when it comes to Spanish/Cuban classics. I remember when Mr. Trevino came to UM to perform -- it was a special treat! Go Canes!
This is a performance where the artist lets the music speak and avoids virtuoso pitfalls. Nice
Yes the piece is excellent - tirinio gives it life and character - the execution is of the highest level
To this day this is still my favorite performance of this song
I like the way he played the slow less technical passages with greater emphasis than a lot of other pianists. Great performance!
Goodness, I absolutely adore this
whew! amazing, amazing! the control...dynamics, i love the sounds of the bass towards the end that he hammers out...i wish i had the money to buy myself a steinway grand...
Excellent work! This is the best performance I have ever seen of this piece. This piece is also one of my favorite of all time as well. Exceptional!
just learning this piece now, and I cannot believe how fast he plays it.
Very nice interpretation
Such beauty. Such power. Delicate yet emotional. I'm going to try and duplicate his style the next time i sit down at the piano. Yes, played w/ such love and compassion. LOVE IT. I can still hear it. BRAVO111111111111
Malaguena's music will remain the sad voice coming from the depths of tortured hearts, then it will continue to scream in order to declare its wounds over the years that it will continue to receive the pain of wounds and forever....🌍
He plays to the point where you can feel and see right through his heart and soul! Love this performance so much! Thank you for uploading!
Best performance I've seen of this song yet!
Independientemente de nuestro hermoso apellido, me encanta su música, lo escucho desde niña y me hace recordar a mi padre!!!
:)
Lecuona no tuvo hijos,,,,,no puedes ser hija de el.
Since he first recorded the 3 CDs with all of Lecuona's music, I have been an avid fan. I am Cuban, and Tirino is glorious!!!!
JC
Excellent! !!!!!!!!!
The dynamic control of Mr. Tirino is amazing!
The best interpredation there is!
This is wonderful. I hope this era returns one day. Jack Baker NYC
Ufff , el gran maestro Lecuona .Fantastico!!!!!!!
De los pocos que siguen la partitura!
How wonderful it is to hear the composer play his own composition. His performance is beautiful and exceptionally fine. I noticed that he added a few notes that are not in my edition of Malaguena.
+jesus g Lecuana is Cuban.
+jesus g That IS Lecuona
Erna Woodward The “extra notes” are not in the printed music, but Lecuona plays them in the recorded version.
You will hear those notes here:

Stands well played side-by-side with Montoya's guitar version. He renders reaquedo like a guitarist, which I suppose was his intent, while maintaining the authority of his instrument.
Bravo, señor maestro!
Yes, it does reflect the guitar .
I loved playing this in High School...more mature now, more expression, less bravura. This performance is the perfect rendering of Flamenco on the keyboard!!

La música no es cubana...es española, el compositor era cubano, hijo de español.
Wonderful! i came across this in a piano book at goodwill! Great song!
+Amha Ademasu , May have donated those books... I had two one was 7 danzas cubanas the other was the waltzes. Donated them when we moved from portland area, I see you might be from Seattle judging by the profile pic.
È e sarà sempre una Musica meravigliosa anche se Datata.
This song is wonderful. Lecuona was a genius.
Beautiful!!!!!!!!
wow the pianist is really good! He can really make one note loud and the one the second after really quiet.
The piano does great justice to a beautiful song.
holy crap!! what an awesome version. this guy kicks ass.
bravo....what a talented pianist
This puts me in heaven. I love this piece and he is great performing it!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

The 70 people who disliked this are jealous they can't play as good as this guy xD
VIVA LECUONA, VIVA CUBA!
Excellent! Bravo! Please come again!

dam it since i started college i cannot play the piano =(!!!!! really miss it

de la mejor sino la mejor interpretacion de piano que se puede hacer de esta formidable cancion
Tirino did a magnificent CD set of all of Lecuona's piano works excepting the operettas and operas.
Bravo!
realmente gradioso
I love the smirk on his face when he stands up. He's trying to hide it to be humble, but he can't because his performance was just too awesome.
Here it is, I played this as a youth, have been waiting for a difinitive representaion.. This is the shit...........................
It's in the upper r. hand corner insert, Thomas Tirino.
Wonderful !
Thanks Petra Cini

Such a magnificent performance. I use this recording as a base for when I play.
Me encanta ❣️
Lindo!!!
eu adoro ese musica!!!
que bonito!!!
eu sabe tocar mais não assim!!!
Very nice!
This is not described as never
Very cool
Lecuona was Cuban.
si nació en guanabacoa habana
half spanish
Although born in Cuba, Ernesto was Basque. Not Spanish!
445CR Somebody that's Basque it's Spanish
Constantinopla Don't forget Brazil and check out Rafael Rabelo.
I like how one person in the audience at 2:49 thinks it's over and starts clapping.
But he has NOT YET BEGUN TO PLAY! WHAT FOLLOWS IS PURE EPIC.
woww,sooo good!
Listen to Lecuona himself playing his own composition. Very different- rough, full of passion. I’m sure he likes Tirino’s wonderful and refined interpretation as well.
la malaguena salerosa!!!
No, es otra malagueña.
BRAVO!!!
Bravo
Si pueden conseguir la interpretacion de Everardo ordaz y orquesta a la musica de lecuona.sera una experiencia inolvidable ya que se enriquece con las percusiones y le da un toque magistral , y por cierto si alguien tiene el disco de vinilo y lo puede subir completo a you tube . Mucho se lo agradecere.
ich liebe dich piece
Eça de queiroz? Eu acho que já ouvi falar nesse cara...
🎉🎉 hi sir im big fan i play piano too
@wow1371 It was originally written for the piano, it just became a famous guitar piece by chance.
I like this version very much. Too many times it seem Malaguaena is an excuise to pound the keys. This is a more delicate version which allows the listener to precieve more in the in the music. facinating.
holy shit 3:25 i loved how you used the base notes!
@SomeDude0nline I don't think the video is on YT but look for Paco De Lucia's version on guitar. It's brilliant.

I'm playing this in marching band, along with bolero and una und cabenza (idk what it's precisely called). This part is by far the hardest in terms of music and visual work (we have to march at 164 bpm after an accelerando.
of course
Oh no, I have to play this, it seems harder than rondo alla Turca 😁 my teacher was like, LETS JUST GO HARDER AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO A POOR 11 YEAR OLD 😂😂😂
same!
TheSlimebox Gaming this is much more difficult than rondo alla turca...
TheSlimebox Gaming don't be afraid of playing this piece.... my son is doing fantastic he is 7 years old he plays a slightly different version but same difficulties.... only been playing piano x 6 months
Don't give up !!!!
I did it ,u can too.
