One of Spain's finest and most popular composers. Joaquin Rodrigo is world famous for his Concierto de Aranjuez. His songs for voice and guitar are very much less well-known despite the fact that they are amongst his greatest achievements. The works span 60 years of Rodrigo's career, covering a rich stylistic range that includes traditional and folk-influenced pieces and carols as well as the lyric intinmacy of the settings of Con Antonio Machado. The lovely transcriptions by guitarist Marco Socias, recorded for the first time, have earned the approval of the composer's daughter.
