Rodrigo - Concierto De Aranjuez [Bonell/ Dutoit-Orchestre Symphonique De Montreal]I decided to go out for a short walk in the late evening, it was dark, and really cold, and i listened to this work while i walked, outside it was freezing, but inside the music is sunny and from Spain, a real contrast!, while i listened i thought how strange it is that the Guitar Concerto isn't more popular, it's an excellent instrument, if Vivaldi could compose for it [albeit the lute], then why not Beethoven and Schubert?, the Rodrigo is a perennial favourite.
