Product Description
Contents: [Deutsche Grammophon 125th Anniversary Edition] [First Analog Recording Period] [SHM-CD Specification] [Green Color Label Coating] Joaqu?n Rodrigo lost his sight due to illness at a young age, but his extraordinary musical talent made him one of the leading composers of 20th-century Spanish music. His "Concierto de Aranjuez" is not only a masterpiece of guitar concertos and an important part of the repertoire for classical guitarists, but its melancholic second movement has also been frequently quoted in the world of jazz and pop music. Narciso Yepes, who has been playing "Concierto de Aranjuez" since his debut, delivers a brilliant performance that seems to transport the listener to the Spanish sun. The coupling, "Fantasia para un gentilhombre," was composed for Andr?s Segovia, another great guitarist of the 20th century, alongside Yepes.
