Narciso Yepes - Rodrigo: Concierto De Aranjuez/ Navarro

SHM Single Layer SACD

Joaquin Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez and Fantasia Para Un Gentilhombre are two favorite guitar-and-orchestra compositions, and this 1990 Deutsche Gramophon recording presents them in all their lush musical glory. Performed by guitarist Narciso Yerpes, the London Philharmonia Orchestra and the English Chamber Orchestra (both under the baton of conductor Garcia Navarro), these two works are among the best known classical pieces to come from Spain.

"Joaquín Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez is arguably one of the most popular concertos of all time, thanks in no small measure to the extraordinary beauty of its central Adagio, which has been arranged for everything from mouth organ to brass band." — Gramophone
