Classical music rediscovers the guitar. Episode 25 - Concierto de Aranjuez by Joaquín Rodrigo

When Rodrigo wrote his guitar concerto the instrument had been mostly forgotten by classical composers - Not loud enough to keep up with the huge sound that modern orchestras were generating, and the ‘Marshall Stack’ wouldn’t be available for another few decades. Rodrigo reminded the world how expressive the guitar can be in the right hands with the right accompaniment and influenced a whole new generation of guitarists and composers.
