Beautiful music

"I don't consider myself a classical music connoisseur - I generally can't tell an amazing performance from a lesser one - so I can't say whether or not this is the definitive performace of this material. I will say that the music is beautiful. Apparently Rodrigo was paraded through the streets of Barcelona by the audience after the concert debut of the Concerto de Aranjuez. One listen and you'll understand why. I initially was exposed to Rodrigo via Miles Davis on his Sketches of Spain album. I'm glad I took the trouble to get the full Concerto - it's great. The other two compositions are excellent as well. If you like classical works with a Spanish tinge you won't be disappointed."
