Listen to Thomas perform Rodrigo's Concierto d'Aranjuez (Quicktime needed)
This concerto is the most famous guitar concerto by Spanish composer Joaquin Rodrigo (1901-1999). Rodrigo wrote several other concertos for solo, two, and even four guitars and orchestra. There is a third movement to this concerto, which was omitted for this performance on the request of the conductor. The performance was a sold out performance with 900 guests attending. It was an all Spanish evening program with music by Manuel de Falla, Joaquin Turina, Ernesto Halfter and Joaquin Rodrigo.
