I have listened to more than twenty performances of this concerto by various guitarists and orchestras. In my opinion, Angel Romero's is the best. He is a real maestro, his playing is flawless and so very evocative. His recording with the LSO on CD is my favorite as it sounds heavenly on a good hi-fi system.
Those vibratos on the strings are just amazing brings so much feeling of nostalgia to this piece, I remember watching this more than 30 years ago as a kid, and it inspired me to learn to play the guitar. Amazing performance Angel is a master.
Angel, it was such a pleasure performing Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez with you so many many years ago in Carmel, California. I will never forget how beautifully you played this piece. It was a dream come true for a young violist. Thank you for this honor that enriched my life a thousand fold.
I conducted Rodrigo's epic concerto for guitar with the Four Seasons Orchestra in 2013 on our Spanish Concert with Angel's brilliant protege Chris Carelli. The slow movement with guitar and English horn is to die for! I wish Rodrigo had written a viola concerto. I thought of commissioning him to write one many years ago.
Yes, I was extremely fortunate to perform with some incredibly talented musicians over the years. Before the Rodrigo concert with Angel Romero, I was backstage at the Carmel Sun Theater back in 1975 (if I am recalling correctly). Angel's son Angelito saw me holding the oversized viola that I owned back then. He asked if he could play it. I said yes and to my astonishment, he started playing brilliant scales very rapidly guitar style on my viola!!! I was astonished that someone that young could play like that!
Awesome performance, the best performance of this all time favorite classical guitar Concerto imo........ except when compared to that with the London Symphony Orchestra.
This video of Angel Romero reminds me of the time years ago when I used to attend the concerts of himself, his father, and brothers in Alice Tully Hall, New York City.
Para mí las interpretaciones de Ángel Romero del Aranjuez son totalmente diferentes a la mayoría que e podido escuchar,el enfoque de la obra tan personal tan virtuoso y orgánica hacen que sea una de mis preferidas sin duda,las dinámicas y el pulso en general que lleva de la obra es natural y hace que vallas viviendo cada momento,si la acentuación está muy marcada o si baja la intensidad, evidentemente el director y la orquesta hacen que aquello sea todo un espectáculo, para mí 10/10👌🌹🌹🌹
His electrifying and intensely Spanish interpretation of the cadenza has been my hands-down favorite for more than 40 years, when I first heard the 1967 recording with the San Antonio Symphony. (Perhaps unfortunately, because I can no longer enjoy anyone else's!) That 1967 recording, which I've owned on vinyl, cassette and now CD, is the only version of this concerto in my library.
Casi nadie sabe que esta joya universal fue producto de la angustia, la rabia y el dolor tan inmensos que vivio Joaquin Rodrigo en Aranjuez, en esos lugubres dias, en que su esposa acababa de perder el fruto de sus entrañas y ella misma se debatia entre la vida y la muerte.... Tragica historia vivida en esos dias, por el Maestro Rodrigo... De ahi, su virtuosa composicion...
@@colski3333 Paco de Lucía has another perfect performance but I'm not so sure about the third one since that might be the one which I haven't heard about yet.
Je préfère cette version sur celle de Paco qui jouait en présence de Rodrigo en spectacle. C'est très émouvant et la guitare reste pour moi le plus beau des instruments. Bravo Angel
Seria fabuloso invitar al gran Angel Romero y la Orquesta Nacional de Espana para que amenizen este Abril 2015 en Panama el encuentro de todos los lideres de Las Americas!
Es fabulosa su intrpretacion en la melodia, sus repeticiones y deslizamientos ( Pull offs and slides) son los mejores que he visto; comparandolos con otros grandes maestros de la guitarra como John Williams, Paco de Lucia. Su interpretacion es única y Original. Felicitaciones !!!
en el minuto 7.46 es el ejemplo que paco de lucia indica, el "guitarrista clasico" tiene a perder el tiempo ya que la parte es dificil y hay un pequeño corte en el compas para poder llegar a la nota
Miguel Rodriguez and definitely spruce. The rosette and headstock had me leaning toward Rodriguez but then you can just catch a bit of the label around 8 minutes. Sounds beautiful.
OUCH at 6:16! What happened to that G# ??! But that's what you'd call nitpicking - finding super minor mistakes that are unimportant in the final run. My apologies to Maestro Romero.
Atilio, cada guitarrista lo toca como lo siente, eso es cuestión de gustos... además tiene casi la misma duración que la interpretación de Narciso Yepes, "espejo donde habría que mirarse", diría mas de uno. ( y la misma duración que Williams, Fernández y muchos mas... segundos mas segundos menos) Abrazo
@@umovilac si es cierto que cada uno toca como quiere o lo siente pero ese principio no me prohibe de criticar negativamente una interpretaciòn que quiere resaltar evidentemente la velocidad del guitarrista mas bien que la belleza de esta celebre obra.
@@atiliocarlosborsani247 Claro, pero lo que es cierto es que Angel Romero no lo toca mas rápido que los que te he nombrado antes... entonces ¿donde quedaría la crítica Atilio?
@@umovilac usted posiblemente se equivoca en su hipotesis en el sentido que, según pienso yo, no hay que mirar el tiempo total del adagio sinó mas bien el tiempo de la cadencia del solista y allí se ve claramente que Romero mirà exclusivamente a sorpasar a los demàs resaltando su velocidad, cosa disgustosa desde un punto de vista puramente musical. Haga usted un càlculo con cronometro y verà que es así realmente. N. Yepes 2:08. J. C. Williams 2:09.y A Romero 1:053.
Genial y magistral ejecución e interpretación del maestro de maestros, Ángel Romero. Saludos desde Lima - Perú.

and I'm so pleased to have found Angel Romero, the best yet.

Gran pieza de arte musical mi favorita desde que la escuché en 1974, pieza para la eternidad, para los que gustan de la buena música gracias
I saw the Romeros at Royce Hall - UCLA and was spellbound. This performance is so wonderful It makes me cry.
Me, also
Oh my goodness...what an amazing music.... amazing performance by the Wonder musicians..
Thank you for the music 🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️
Una de las mayores obras de arte de la humanidad interpretada de forma sublime, gracias por tanto gozo y por tanta felicidad !!!!!

Angel Romero is the best, especially with Concierto de Aranjuez!!!
Angel=Aranjuez. He makes it look so simple. Brash and brilliant and simply wonderful.
The best execution of the electrifying moment at 7:59.
Koji Takahashi gives me goosebumps
Exquisite phrasing and elegant and eloquent performance. Simply marvelous.
So beautuful🎶the Ramirez guitar sounds heavenly
Luthier Miguel Rodriguez
Magistral interpretacion por el gran Angel Romero de esta bellisima pieza musical

Awesome guitarist. Superb performance. Love it.
One of my favorite pieces of music
Meraviglioso !
Que viva los Romero
Una fra le migliori di tutte le interpretazioni... GRANDE!!
The solo guitar from 6:13 to 7:59 have to be some of the greatest guitar playing on the planet ... as if an Angel were playing it ...
This is undoubtedly one of the top three performances of Adagio.
Mustafa Atasoy what’s two and three? I must say I like the one he did with Andre Previn
@@colski3333 Paco de Lucía has another perfect performance but I'm not so sure about the third one since that might be the one which I haven't heard about yet.
To think that the guitar was rejected as a "folk" instrument by so many for so many years!
Una obra maestra, la sinfonia perfecta para muchos como yo... Y no me dirán que no
The Best play
¡Bravo!
El más grande guitarrista de todos los tiempos!
Je préfère cette version sur celle de Paco qui jouait en présence de Rodrigo en spectacle. C'est très émouvant et la guitare reste pour moi le plus beau des instruments. Bravo Angel
Expresa la fuerza del sentimiento
Sublime💗🌹
Meraviglioso.
7:13 what a champ, tuning his guitar in the middle of a performance!
musica per le mie orecchie e spero anche per le vostre semplicemente Fantastico
C'est juste la meilleur version ... du plus beau concerto ...
excellent, one of my favorite pieces.
Magnífica interpretación.
Lágrimas. Un sentido celestial
Increíble interpretación.

Given the color of the top, is this the spruce ramirez guitar?
