This album brings together two world première recordings and an undisputed masterpiece, Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez which, with its sublime Adagio, has become his most celebrated work. Frank Martin's extraordinarily powerful Guitare is the composer's orchestral version of Quatre pièces brèves for solo guitar [Naxos 8570191]. Echoes of Rodrigo can be heard in the cinematic Romanticism of Leo Brouwer's Concierto de Benicàssim, described by the composer as 'a panorama of my own ideas'. Written as a tribute to the 150th anniversary of the birth of Francisco Tárrega, it is revived here by Miguel Trápaga over a decade after its première.
"This performance by Miguel Trápaga, with a Spanish orchestra and conductor is certainly authentic, if maybe not as sophisticated as some of the better known international guitarists manage. But it's interesting because you also get one of more than a dozen concertos written by Leo Brouwer (b.1939), who has been an indefatigable composer of accessible guitar music, including, amongst other things, transcriptions of Beatles numbers." Bargain of the Week ClassicFM
"[Trápaga] is highly attuned to the different sound worlds of the Brouwer and the Rodrigo and, together with the Real Filharmonía de Galicia under Óliver Díaz, creates another kind of musical conversation that is vibrant, exciting and revealing in equal measure" (Gramophone)
