Il concerto e' dedicato al grande chitarrista Regino Sainz de la Maza che chiese lui stesso a Rodrigo di comporre un concerto per chitarra. Un anno dopo la richiesta, Regino fu accontentato, Rodrigo compose il concerto e nel 1940 ci fu la prima a Barcellona con de la Maza nella parte del solista.
Another fun fact about Rodrigo: although he's one of the most famous guitar composers in history, and is credited with popularizing the guitar concerto as a genre, he barely played the guitar at all. When he showed his solo guitar pieces to people, he played them on the piano rather than the guitar.
Yep - probably the most famous guitar concerto of all time. And the main theme of the middle movement surely one of the most beautiful melodies of all time, transforming the pain of grief and loss into something that blesses and comforts us all in time of need for human connection.
Gidi reacting to spanish classical music made my day.😁
Just a note: The composer is Joaquín Rodrigo. I think you should add his name somewhere in the tittle of the video or in the description.
llevo mas de 40 años escuchandola, no puedo hacerlo sin que se me caigan las lagrimas, OBRA MAESTRA entre LAAS OBRAS MAESTRAS, gracias por compartir.
Great job in listening to one of the most famous pieces for guitar and orchestra. Pablo Sánz is the soloist the guy playing the guitar. Thank you for putting in the link for the original video, because in classical music it's important to also know who the conductor was and which orchestra.
A nice reaction. A masterpiece made by a blind man. This was written in braille code, this piece of art embraces a sad composer's personal history.
Many years ago I had the pleasure of listening to a solo guitar recital at a small theatre in Redhill Surrey England Playing was one of Englands best Spanish guitar players - Julien Bream. Just him and a selection of his Spanish guitars. Great evening of Music.
I attended a concert many years ago at Carnegie Hall in NY with the foremost Spanish guitar player Andres Segovia.
One of my favorite pieces. Name drop alert...when I was overseas I had written Christopher Parkening for Rodrigo 's address in Spain... sadly he was not at his apartment on the day I went to get an autograph. Did purchase music of his in Madrid though.
Thank you for your reaction. I love this piece
El adagio del concierto de Aranjuez es lo más hermoso que he escuchado jamás. El maestro Rodrigo al componer esta magistral obra nos dejó un maravilloso regalo para nuestros oídos.
No te pierdas este adagio interpretado por el genial Paco de Lucía, no te arrepentirás. Lo tienes también en UA-cam.
Never heard of this piece before! Thanks for sharing this with the lovely reaction of yours!
I love this reaction of yours! Lesser-known pieces, especially of unusual genre (not symphony or violin/piano concerto/sonata) and of unusual instrumentation often are not appreciated and loved enough, so it was delightful how you enjoyed it :)
its my favorit classical peice
yyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssss, finally my instrument GIDI, i´m currently practicing this!
ps:you should have reacted to paco de Lucia version(it is more unique, and he is the best guitarrist ever)
You really need to check out the Paco de Lucia version
Pablo Sainz Villegas has to be one of the best guitar players out there! Great reaction mate!
Amazing performance of an amazing classic! If you want another Rodrigo piece with a similar soundworld, check out the Fantasia para un Gentilhombre. Classical guitar can sound truly wonderful with great writing and a great performance...
Absolutely wonderful piece of music, treated by with the reverence it deserves. You spoke about it telling a story and that's so true, the second (slow) movement being Rodrigo's tribute to his son, who died in infancy. Truly beautiful. I'd recommend Rodrigo's 'Conciert de Madrigal," if you want to try something else by him.
This is arguably the most famous bit of the classical guitar repertoire and rightly so, mostly for the second movement. Your assessment was quite correct, about the concerto telling a story. The second movement is Rodrigo telling you a story about the miscarriage of his child, the disbelief, anger, pain and realization. You can hear gim go through all of these stages of grief here.
Common theme in classical music is a lack of spanish names. So it was only time you got to know Joaquin Rodrigo. Fun Fact: Some composers are obviously famous for being deaf, Rodrigo was blind.
Also the constant chord of the guitar in the 2nd movement is describing the sound of the fading heartbeat of the child.
Also, about being blind, so far there are 3 famous composers who are blind. Rodrigo, bach, and handel.
@@SofiAmadeus I'm sorry but your example of blind composers is just wrong.
Bach and Handel suffered from cataract, like many older people do, as the lense in the eye gets cloudy. That doesn't make them blind composers. It only became a probem in their final years. (The historical irony is that they both turned to the same quack named John Taylor to have their lenses cleared. Bach died from complications/infection caused by his unsterile operating instruments and the "bright" idea to use pigeon blood as a cleansing agent and Handel totally lost all eyesight. But he wasn't composing at that time any longer anyway.)
Rodrigo was blind from the age of 4, as a complication from a diphteria infection.
Another famous composer who was blind from birth was Louis Vierne.
@@Quotenwagnerianer didn't they turn blind first for months before actually dying? I would consider that as being blind. Although I do understand that saying it that way might mislead people into thinking that they're blind most of their life.
@@SofiAmadeus Handel did, as a result of the surgery.
Maybe it's matter of definition. Blind does not necesarilly mean that you are unable to see anything at all, just like deaf does not mean that you don't hear a thing.
They were both impaired enough that they turned to a "doctor" to fix it.
Too bad the guy was a fraud.
@@Quotenwagnerianer Vierne, like me, had congenital cataracts. His vision was impaired, but he could still see large print.
"Fantasía para un gentihombre" by the same composer Rodrigo it's very beautiful
The setting is the famous Concertgebouw ("Concert Building") in Amsterdam, revered as one of the world's best concert halls for its acoustics (traditionally alongside the Vienna Großer Musikvereinssaal and Boston Symphony Hall), and home of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, among others (though this performance is with the less well-known South Netherlands Philharmonic).
Whoa. Its good. I learned jingle bells on guitar. It was first lesson and next is ode to joy.
And again 0 sec comment.
I have loved this piece since the first hearing. They tell stories in music. Now im old enough to hear this story and kind of get the meaning. I would love to talk with the composer.
Got to hear Craig Ogden play the 2nd movement at the Royal Albert Hall about 15 years ago.
If you're looking for more classical guitar, I'd recommend looking for the late great Julian Bream. He was one of the greatest masters of the instrument.
Escucha "LA GRAN JOTA" Pablo sainz Villegas.
The Paco de Lucia one is amazing
Nice reaction, as always. It's a great concert, different because the guitar is the main instrument. Thank you very much for turning on the subtitles. If you want to listen to another concert where the guitar is the main one, I recommend the Andalusian Concert by Joaquin Rodrigo. Greetings from Guatemala City in Central America.
its poetry
There's also a fantastic arrangement of the 2nd movement by Miles Davis and Gil Evans.
A great album!
Hi Gidi, one of my favorites; it was good to hear it again.
the guitar became a forefront instrument in the last century because of use of lighter woods,,modern veneer devlopments in finishing varnishes,,they project sound much better,the strings retain proper tuning in humid dry warm hot conditions,nylon strings hold tone better,,
one thing you can do to get longer life out of strings is to use windex and a clean rag to run along the strings,cleaning oils and dirt off them restores crisp sound,rub till they squeal like violin stings bowed
Anyone realise that bonkers and peculiar violin (or viola) the white-haired man is holding?
That is a viola made by David Rivinus. There's a video on UA-cam (with his name misspelled as Ravinus) of him talking about it - it's named "David Ravinus explains Pellegrina Ergonomic Viola". He designed the alternative viola shape to overcome the difficulties of playing 17 + inch violas for long periods.
Yeah, I noticed that. Odd-looking thing
@@Tunarth Yeah, I noticed it too. I've had the chance to try one of those -- for a while I played in an orchestra with someone who owned one. There's been a lot of experimentation with viola shapes because the viola is a compromise between acoustics and playability.
@@Tunarth Yes, Don Ehrlich also played one when he was assistant principal viola in the San Francisco Symphony, to alleviate stress injuries.
Rodrigo at the age of three his eyes were damaged in a diphtheria epidemic and quite soon his sight deteriorated towards total blindness.
Refreshing. Yes!
The location of this recording is the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
Beautiful place
Great work...Sounds like Copland at times...keep em comi young man
You should try some of his piano music; he wrote beautifully atmospheric pieces for piano.
Gidi, "la grand jota"
Quick suggestion, if you get a chance to listen to the late Paco de Lucia rendition of Concierto de Aranjuez, it will easily have you change your mind as to which version trumps; in my humble opinion, he is a Spanish flamenco guitarist with few if any equals, with all due respect in advance to the late Andres Segovia.
Although Paco's effort was fair and enjoyable is not even close, this is not flamenco and even the flamenco guitar itself differs from a classical guitar.
I'd recommend many other versions before Paco de Lucía's
Paco de Lucia Aranjuez you are missing
Oh it's more beautiful this Concert by Paco de Lucía! and musical compossition: Entre dos aguas!!!!!!
You should try reacting to Gustav Mahler symphony no 5
check out guitarist "YAMANDU COSTA" from BRAZIL!
That is a Spanish guitar and the music is from Andalucía, a region in the South of Spain.
It's classical guitar and Joaquín Rodrigo, the composer, was from Valencia, not Andalucía, stop misleading people if you don't know about it
If you'd like to hear a different rendering of part of this concert with a different instrument try:
"Carlos Nuñez Concierto de Aranjuez". Live.
Carlos is a gifted player of the "Galician Gaita", a kind of bagpipe played in North-West Spain.
While the sound is different from the guitar's, he does play a section of the Concierto de Aranjuez magnificently.
09:59 Have you seen Kevin Kline's o-face in A Fish Called Wanda?
Suggestion: Waloyo Yamoni by Christopher Tin
you shouldve reacted to paco de lucias version tho lol
Honestly like the Miles Davis version better on sketches of Spain.
buy you a couple of ears
@@JulioLeonFandinho You can keep them, Miles is to mid 20th century Jazz as Beethoven is to early German romanticism.
@@mattbalfe2983
Americans overrating jazz music, typical... Miles Davis don't even hold a candle to Scott Joplin, Gershwin, Charles Ives... let alone true composers like all these classical ones, who has to harmonize 80 instruments and be original and interesting at the same time.
Now think better, what melody made up Miles Davis remotely close to the immortal one of the adagio movement in Concierto de Aranjuez, what one?
And for the record, I love Davis music, at least until the 60s when he thought he could be also a hippie and ended in the 80s wearing clothes like my mother and making that horrendous funk-fusion crap nobody cares, because sounds like a monkey farting
Concierto de aranjuez with Guadalupe Pineda. ( BEST VERSION ).
