(1901-99). Think of a composer who most vividly evokes the atmosphere of his native Spain and Joaquin Rodrigo immediately springs to mind. And yet this assertion is based on just one work - his Concierto de Aranjuez, one of the most popular classics of all time. On the centenary of the composer's birth,
Donald Macleod introduces a selection of Rodrigo's lesser-known works which affirm that sense of national pride and reveal a man who overcame his blindness to become one of Spain's most celebrated composers.
Cinco Piezas Infantiles, Nos 1,4 and 5 Gregory Allen and Anton Nel (pianos) Per la Flordel Uiri Blau Berlin RSO, conductor Hans-Dieter Baum
Cantico de la Esposa Patricia Rozario (soprano), Mark Troop (piano) Concierto de Aranjuez

Pat Metheny , and with Stan Getz. In Mike Gibbs 's hands the NDR ensemble is a truly progressive musical force.
