Info for Rodrigo: Piano Concerto / Musica Para Un Jardin (Complete Orchestral Works, Vol. 4)

Joaquín Rodrigo evokes the spirit of Span in his musical picture of the Alhambra and, in Music for a Garden, of the garden of El Retiro in Madrid. Juglares (Jugglers), was the composer‘s first orchestral work. It demonstrates the characteristic clarity of Valencian music and was praised by the influential critic López-Chavarri as work of major significance.

The Piano Concerto, full of passion and demanding great virtuosity from the soloist, is revised version of the 1942 Concierto heroico. Homenaje a la tempranica (Homage to the precocious girl) is a tribute to Gerónimo Giménez‘s zarzuela La tempranica (190), it music subtle and elegant.

'Hats off to the orchestra of Castile and Leon for its efforts: always painstaking and precise, and committed to revealing this music in its best possible light.' (Christopher Wood, BBC Music Magazine)

'This third volume of Rodrigo's complete orchestral works from Naxos brings a full measure of delight at his neo-Classical pieces for strings. The modo galante and divertimento are scored for cello and orchestra and Asier Polo is a deeply committed soloist. The remainder of the programme is the equally sensitive hands of violinist Mikhail Ovrutsky. Support from the Spanish orchestra (established only in 1991) under Max Bragado-Darman is superb.'
