Description
Joaquín Rodrigo (1901-1999) is best known as the composer of one of the most popular works of music in the twentieth century--the Concierto de Aranjuez for guitar and orchestra. It's been featured in movies and television commercials and remains a staple of concert programs for orchestras around the world. Miles Davis said, "After listening to it for a couple of weeks...I couldn't get it out of my mind," and he used it as inspiration for his album Sketches of Spain. But as Javier Suárez-Pajares and Walter Aaron Clark reveal in this musical biography--the first complete study in English--Rodrigo's work and influence extend far beyond that singular composition.
