Biography

Born in Valencia, his family moved to Barcelona during his infancy. Lopátegui attended the Municipal Conservatory of Barcelona where he later developed his pedagogic career. He began, but did not complete, his engineering studies.[3]

He was a disciple of Emilio Pujol and attended classes from and became Narciso Yepes's friend.[1] He adopted Yepes' ten-string guitar as a performer. As a concert player, his musicality was remarkable. He stood out in the classical period repertoire, being remarkable in the interpretation of Luigi Boccherini, Fernando Sor, Francisco Tárrega and Miguel Llobet's works. He kept an eye on contemporary classical music as well. He played worldwide, mostly in Europa, Asia and Amèrica.[2]
