Naxos · 8.555841 · 2002
Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez was the first truly successful modern work for solo guitar and orchestra. Its classical three-movement form is rooted in an atmosphere of traditional Spanish music and its famous Adagio has undergone numerous arrangements. Rodrigo’s Fantasía para un gentilhombre, written for Andrés Segovia, the most influential guitarist of the twentieth century, is based on 17th century Spanish dances.
