P. Mouratoglou / Orchestre La Follia / H. Borsarello : Concerto d'Aranjuez

Presented by PHILIPPE MAILLARD PRODUCTIONS (2-L-R-22-12384/3-L-R-22-12385) Concertos for guitar All at once virtuoso and lyrical, the Concerto for Guitar and Small Orchestra of Heitor Villa-Lobos, composed of 1951, is considered one of the greatest guitar concertos in the repertoire. The richness of the musical personality of this great Brazilian composer, made up of a very deep melodic sense associated with a certain rhythmic primitivism that brings him closer to Stravinsky, is expressed with a particular acuity and a unique breath. Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez (1939) evokes the gardens of the Palais Royal of Aranjuez, near Madrid, in a dance and melancholic music, which has become emblematic of Spain. Turina completes this program in Spanish colors, between refinement and intensity.
