Torroba Concierto de Castilla Side 1

Selected Solo Works Side 2

Side 1

Adagio, Allegro Moderato

Lovely opening movement, lots of bravado. 

Movement ends like a sportscar zooming into the garage

Andante

Listen for the bells about 2 minutes in.  

Has a very “Disney-like” feel for the bulk of the movement

Ends with an a la Scaffold Berlioz-esque

Andante, Allegro Moderato

Much anticipation in the introduction

The bells return in the Allegro Moderato

Once again, the sports car motive come back to end the piece

Side 2

Andante Largo, Fernando Sor

She plays this like how most people play Sor…dry and unimaginative

Preludio in G Minor, Renata Tarrago

Barcarolle feel, nice composition

Minuetto in D Major Op. 11 No. 5, Fernando Sor

Andante from Sonatina in A, Federico Moreno Torroba

Static performance, the studio slapback does not bode well

En Los Triagles, Joaquin Rodrigo

“In the wheatfields”

The Classical Guitar LPs podcast has been quiet for a while. Aaron checks in with the audience and explains. Thanks for listening

The commentary was recorded on location in Portland, OR with my remote equipment. I picked up this record at Bach & Rock in Astoria, OR while my family was out sightseeing.

Listen as Aaron gives poignant commentary on a beautiful recording by Julian Bream

Aaron returns after a busy semester of teaching for a new episode of a "Guitarist I have never heard of playing music I have never heard".
