Joaquín Rodrigo praised the CD  “Elogio de la guitarra”, which includes some of his solo pieces and recorded by Marco Socías in 1997, as follows:

“A new recording of my guitar works is always a cause of satisfaction.
But in the case of this young Spanish performer, that satisfaction becomes delight.
Marco Socías offers a profound and emotional journey through some of my most emblematic works with genuine musicality and a powerful technique.”
Joaquín Rodrigo, January 1998.

Born in Málaga (Spain) into a family of pianists, Marco Socías received his musical education in this city, and afterwards in many masterclasses and at the Musikhochschule Cologne (Germany).
Among the most significant personalities for his development are Carmen Gallardo, Antonio Company, José Tomás, José Miguel Moreno and David Russell.
