Interpretations

A number of musicians have since reinterpreted the work, including jazz legend Miles Davis in the company of arranger Gil Evans. On the album Sketches of Spain (1960), Davis says: "That melody is so strong that the softer you play it, the stronger it gets, and the stronger you play it, the weaker it gets". Violinist Ikuko Kawai's version, Aranjuez, is an upbeat, faster update to the work. Clarinettist Jean-Christian Michel revisited Aranjuez's concerto. His clarinet's transcription "Aranjuez" has sold on 1,500,000 copies. Virtuoso Guitarist Buckethead covered Sketches of Spain on the album Electric Tears; this was also a tribute to Miles Davis. The introduction and middle section of Chick Corea's "Spain" are based on the Adagio. Bassist Buster Williams performs a solo bass transcription of the second movement of Concierto De Aranjuez on his album GRIOT LIBERTE (2006).

Until asked to perform and interpret Concierto de Aranjuez in 1991, the Spanish guitarist Paco de Lucia was not proficient at reading musical notation. As a flamenco guitarist, de Lucía claimed in Paco de Lucia-Light and Shade: A Portrait, he gave greater emphasis to rhythmical accuracy in his interpretation of the Concierto at the expense of the perfect tone preferred by classical guitarists. Joaquín Rodrigo declared that no one had ever played his composition in such a brilliant manner.

Inspiration

Royal Palace of Aranjuez

The Concierto de Aranjuez was inspired by and written for the gardens at Palacio Real de Aranjuez, the spring resort (or palace) and gardens originally built by Philip II in the last half of the 16th century, and later rebuilt in the middle of the 18th century by Ferdinand VI. The work attempts to transport the listener to the sounds of nature in both another place and time.

According to the composer, the first movement is "animated by a rhythmic spirit and vigour without either of the two themes... interrupting its relentless pace", the second movement "represents a dialogue between guitar and solo instruments (cor anglais, bassoon, oboe, horn etc.)", and the last movement "recalls a courtly dance in which the combination of duple and triple time maintains a taut tempo right to the closing bar". He described the concerto itself as capturing "the fragrance of magnolias, the singing of birds and the gushing of fountains" in the gardens of Aranjuez.

Some say that the second movement was inspired by the bombing of Guernica which happened in 1937. In her autobiography, the composer's wife Victoria maintains that it was an evocation of the happy days of their honeymoon, and a response to Rodrigo's devastation at the miscarriage of their first baby.

Rodrigo dedicated the Concierto de Aranjuez to Regino Sainz de la Maza.[1]

Rodrigo, having been blind since age three, was a pianist and did not play the guitar, yet he still captured the spirit of diversity of the guitar in Spain

That melody is so strong that the softer you play it, the stronger it gets, and the stronger you play it, the weaker it gets".

Yes Yes it is true. A remarkable feature of the work.

It has been used in many different ways in popular culture.
