	Obituary: Joaquin Rodrigo, famed Spanish composer dies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Aranjuez, the work's location, points to the end of the 18th century and the Spanish courts of Carlos IV and Fernando VII.
		Concierto de Aranjuez, a synthesis of classical and popular in both form and emotion, lies dreaming beneath the foliage of the park that surrounds the Baroque palace, and only wishes to be as agile as a butterfly and as precise as a matador's cape pass.”
		As Kamhi explained in a later biography, the young couple faced tremendous poverty, she was pregnant and at one point Rodrigo fell seriously ill after developing an abscess in his eye.

		The Concierto de Aranjuez shot a 39 years Joaquín Rodrigo to fame, at first hailed in his homeland as the greatest Spanish composer, and later recognised worldwide.
		The Concierto was only half finished when Victoria, pregnant with their first child fell ill, and was expected to die.
		The Concierto de Aranjuez revived the guitar concerto from obscurity, the last great guitar concerti being written by Vivaldi and Giuliani hundreds of years ago.

	Concierto de Aranjuez - Majestic, Mournful, Melancholy Yet Inspiring
		When writing the Concierto de Aranjuez, Rodrigo would never have imagined that it would become not only the most famous guitar concerto of all time, but one of the most popular concertos of all time of any instrument.
		In the Concierto de Aranjuez he was able to combine both folkloric and classical traditions so successfully that a music critic stated at the time...
		The Concierto de Aranjuez by Rodrigo has stood the test of time to date and shall continue to stand the test of time in the future because it is classical music in its highest form yet so accessible at the same time.

		The album is entitled "Concierto de Aranjuez" after one of the masterworks of the Spanish composer Joaquin Rodrigo.
		The "Concierto de Aranjuez", a mature and astonishingly well-balanced composition, explored new fields of harmony and rhythm and opened up vistas in the use of the orchestra and the solo instrument.
		In the "Concierto de Aranjuez", the guitar, in spite of its distant sound, never becomes submerged in the orchestra, but asserts its individuality and even dialogues with it.

	Rodrigo Concierto de Aranjuez
		But in 1939 they were able to return to Spain, and in 1940 Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez premiered in Barcelona with guitarist Regino Sainz de la Maza.
		It became the most popular 20th-century concerto ever written, being arranged for many other solo instruments; the theme of the second movement was also famously adapted by Miles Davis in his Sketches of Spain album in 1960, his version in turn becoming a jazz standard.
		The 300-acre gardens of Aranjuez are part of an 18th-century summer palace of the Bourbon kings of Spain, on the banks of the Tajo river outside Madrid.

	Concierto de Aranjuez: A Bit of Mysticism?
		Aranjuez sat in the midst of a hot, dry, and dusty plain.
		Though he wrote lots of music, Rodrigo would never again reach the heights that the Concierto de Aranjuez attained, would never quite find the way of reaching behind the intellectual defenses into the core being of the audience with such force.
		So what we have here is a partnership in restrained lyricism, and the result is one of the most beautiful and endearing recordings of the Concierto de Aranjuez I’ve heard, with great sensitivity to the work, and especially the Adagio.

		If you consider that Segovia is never known to have played Rodrigo's "Concierto De Aranjuez," then I would not hesitate in suggesting that this recording gives you an excellent idea of how he might have played it (along with more of his unique vibrato).
		I have listened to recordings of Aranjuez and not known that certain passages were even in the guitar part until I saw someone perform the concerto live.
		However, of the three concertos on this recording, Aranjuez is probably the weakest one on the disc.

	Concierto de Aranjuez - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A brass version of the Adagio made a prominent appearance in the 1992 British movie Brassed Off, played by Grimethorpe Colliery Band and referred to by the film's characters as 'Rodrigo's Concierto de Orange Juice', with 'orange juice' being a humorously anglicized pronunciation of name of the Spanish town of 'Aranjuez'.
		In the movie School of Rock, hearing his students practice the Concierto de Aranjuez in music class gives main character Dewey Finn the idea to form a rock band with the children.
		The theme for Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, "Follow Me" is based on the second movement of the concerto.

		That disc, carrying the imprimatur of the composer himself and filled out with a guitar arrangement of a Vivaldi lute concerto, was warmly received in 1991 and still provides much pleasure.
		Isbin’s remake of the most celebrated of all guitar concertos, however, is still more fetching and is part of a stronger program in which its companion pieces are the most admired specimens of the genre from North and South America, those by the Mexican Manuel Ponce and the Brazilian Heitor Villa-Lobos.
		The only slip-up in this fine package of the three outstanding guitar concertos of the 20th century is the reversal of the captions under the photos of Ponce and Villa-Lobos -- which, of course, does not affect the listening pleasure at all.

		The adagio movement of the Concierto Aranjuez was Rodrigo's attempt to be at one with the eternal.
		It is another twentieth century masterpiece deserving of high stature, I feel, with its classical form and its populous touch.
		There is a felicitous match here, as both the Spanish conductor and the Cuban born soloist are very sensitive to their Spanish musical heritage.

	PUHP - Proms reviews 2001
		Then we were Iberia bound, as indeed it seemed were most of the orchestra who left the stage for the economically-scored Concierto pastoral for flute and small orchestra by Rodrigo.
		Rodrigo's most famous work, the Concierto de Aranjuez, opened the second half.
		To be fair, this is the only sort of intervention which can elevate a performance of the March above the ordinary, and in the absence of anything similar I can't say the piece did much for me other than to provide a saccharine end to a generally unchallenging show.

		Pepe Romero plays with complete command of the music, and in the affecting slow movement of the 'Concierto' (composed, as we learned only after his death, to mourn the loss of a child who died at birth), he plays his heart out.
		Simply magical the entire CD is. Concierto de Aranjuez under the direction of Jacek Kaspszyk and conducted by Carlos Bonell created a gentle and yet firm sounding piece of work.

		The best known work of Rodrigo is the Concierto de Aranjuez, for guitar and orchestra, written in 1939, closely followed in popularity by his Fantasia para un gentilhombre.
		Other guitar concertos include a Concierto madrigal for two guitars and a Concierto andaluz for four guitars.
		He has written concertos for other solo instruments, including the violin, the cello and the piano and a Concierto serenata for solo harp and orchestra, all in a style that has remained consistent throughout his career, both here and in his stage and vocal compositions.

		Both Miles and Gil Evans were taken with the piece when they were introduced to it and it forms the centerpiece of the album, and the number that seems to register the greatest number of complaints.
		The long, "classical" piece, "Concierto de Aranjuez (16 minutes, 14 seconds)," is the one most often criticized.
		I don't know that I had ever really been engrossed with any classical arrangement until I first heard 'Concierto De Aranjuez' which is givin' what seems to be to be such masterful treatment that it's spellbinding.
