ARANJUEZ MON AMOUR

"The life and music of Joaquín Rodrigo in his own words"

Programme note:

Cecilia Rodrigo introduces and reads a fascinating collection of letters and essays

written by her father, composer Joaquin Rodrigo. No guitar work has enjoyed greater popularity than his Concierto de Aranjuez for guitar and orchestra, which is widely regarded as the most popular concerto written for any instrument in the 20th century. Together with Carlos Bonell playing music by Falla, Sanz, Sainz de la Maza and Rodrigo himself, the presentation will include letters to some of Spain's leading artists of the last century, including to Segovia, Mompou, and Manuel de Falla, and his future wife Victoria K. The letters reveal a personal and artistic struggle to find success and satisfaction, and are a vivid evocation of the turbulent times which Joaquin Rodrigo's long life (1901-1999) encompassed.
