In december 1947, he made his debut in Madrid with the Concierto de Aranjuez (of the blind composer Joaquín Rodrigo), under the conducting of conductor Ataúlfo Argenta. The overwhelming success and critical reviews of this performance made him known to the general public.

In 1952 he edited a traditional song for the guitar: Romance d'Anonyme. This music was used in the movie Juegos prohibidos (Prohibitedforbidden games (Jeux interdits) -Play-by Director René Clément (1952). Thiscanción para la guitarra (song for the guitar) belongs nowadays to the classic standards of every guitarist. Yepes also performed other pieces out for this movie. Later he composed the film music ' La Fille aux Yeux d'Or (1961) and ' La viuda del capitán Estrada ' (1991). He resigned in 1967 on as a musician in the film 'El amor brujo'.

Narciso Yepes married in 1958 with Marysia Szumlakowska [1], a young Polish philosophy student. They had three children: Juan de la Cruz (deceased in a traffic accident), Ignacio Yepes (flutist and conductor), and Ana Yepes (choreographer and ballerina).

Range of Yepes ' 10-string guitarIn 1964, Yepes performed the Concierto de Aranjuez with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, with the premiere of the ten-string guitar, invented by him in cooperation with the well known (flamenco) luthier José Ramírez III [1]  Are discontent about the imbalance in the balance of the six-string guitar sound at certain natural harmonies was the reason to design such a guitar. The instrument made it possible to originally Baroque music pieces for the lute without transposition of the bass notes. The main reason to design this instrument was the addition of extra strings, serving as Resonators, which C, A #, G #, F # were voted. As a result, this was the first trulychromatic guitar, similar to the piano with its resonance/pedal mechanism.

Yepes ten-string guitar are used after 1964-also called exclusive décacordecalled during during his many performances (130 per year) with the most important orchestras around the world.

He was also the first that the complete works of Bach on took up a historic Baroque lute . During his patient study on this instrument developed a revolutionary technique Narciso Yepes and discovered many new opportunities in the use of the lute.
