Concierto de Aranjuez - Joaquin Rodrigo (Paul Mauriat orchestra) ✿⊱╮♡ ✿⊱╮

Video edited: Άρωμα Ψυχής The Concierto d&Aranjuez, written in 1939, it is probably Joaquin Rodrigo&best-known work and its success established his reputation as one of the most significant Spanish composers of the twentieth century. Was inspired by the gardens at Palacio Real de Aranjuez, the spring resort palace and gardens built by Philip II in the last half of the 16th century and rebuilt in the middle of the 18th century by Ferdinand VI. The work attempts to transport the listener to another place and time through the evocation of the sounds of nature. According to the composer, the first movement is "animated by a rythmic spirit and vigour without either of the two themes... interrupting its relentless pace"; the second movement "represents a dialogue between guitar and solo instruments (cor anglais, bassoon, oboe, horn etc.)"; and the last movement "recalls a courtly dance in which the combination of double and triple time maintains a taut tempo right to the closing bar." He described the concerto itself as capturing "the fragrance of magnolias, the singing of birds, and the gushing of fountains" in the gardens of Aranjuez.
