I had this on a tsoe cassette and played it a million times since 1978,. But after my tape player broke and my husband died, I haven't heard it. It was wonderful seeing it performed.
Many thanks for choosing this. Anyone who's been to Spain knows how powerfully this work conjures up the Spanish world -- its landscape, language, and culture. The fact that Rodrigo composed the concerto after he had lost his sight only makes the score more poignant. It's a work that deserves to be better known here in North America. Bravo!
Dan, thank you for providing this and for your continued service and contributions to our global community. Eliot, thank you for joining him. And thank you both for bringing some real, diverse cultures to our online experience. Who knows, in the future your type of effort may well become interplanetary should Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sir Richard Branson, et Al. succeed.
Mr. Rather and Elliott thank you, for sharing this commentary with us. Pete Romero played the guitar beautifully. It was gratifying and peaceful to listen to.
I so enjoyed the magical guitar music. I played it over and over. I have a photo of my 4 yr. old grandaughter watching, listening to and mesmerized by musicians playing music in a hotel in Havana.
A favorite, easily. (The kids’ lullaby was the Adagio--played by Miles Davis.)
I used to lie back, close my eyes, and let the virtuosity wash over me, and that was fine. But then I realized I could be missing another bit of virtuosity by not watching the camera work (and, by extension, the editing) for some of these live videos. The work for this piece is remarkable. The shots of the English hornist, for example, are really special.
So pure and beautiful.
Thank you for leading me to this! What a joy. I listened to it, sitting in the morning sun, something that is rare in Maine during spring.
Beautiful! What great music to work by!!

Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Sublime musicianship. Full of tenderness, yearning, and finally celebration. Bravo!! I’m keeping this one on repeat!

Still photos? Can you post a link to the video?
Not sure I understand. I’m talking about this video of the Rodrigo, the one I’m commenting on.
Oh. I looked for a Miles Davis "Adagio" video.
Not a video, sadly. Just the audio.
Oh. Well, then... https://youtu.be/2cscpJisU6k
