Narciso Yepes was one of the finest virtuoso classical guitarists of the twentieth century, generally ranked second after Andrés Segovia. Despite a strong interest in music from the Baroque period, his overwhelming preference was for the serious compositions of Spanish composers from the early twentieth century, though he also showed interest in flamenco music. He displayed a special fondness for the works of Joaquín Rodrigo and was instrumental in the rediscovery of many previously neglected Baroque compositions.
(Robert Cummings - AllMusic Guide)

The four movements were based on six short dances for solo guitar by the 17th century Spanish composer Gaspar Sanz, taken from a three-volume work (1674, 1675, 1697) now commonly known as
Instrucción de música sobre la guitarra española (Musical Instruction on the Spanish Guitar). Most of the movements retain the names that Sanz originally gave them. Rodrigo expanded on
Sanz's themes to produce a work lasting more than 20 minutes. Rodrigo composed the concerto in 1954 at the request of guitarist Andrés Segovia, who evidently was
the gentilhombre referenced in the title.
