Rodrigo: Concertos for Guitar & Harp

Narciso Yepes (guitar), Nicanor Zabaleta (harp), Andrés Segovia (guitar)

Spanish National Orchestra, Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, Ataulfo Argenta, Rafael Frübeck de Burgos, Ernst Märzendorfer

Neither Narciso Yepes (Aranjuez) nor Andrés Segovia (Fantasia, Zarabanda) are at their mellifluous best here, but Nicanor Zabaleta’s sensational harp-led Concierto serenata is a bona fide classic.

About

(Guitar) “Yepes’ cadenza is as clean and bright as a new pin, and his rapid repeated-note finish is fantastic.” “I am coming to regard the Fantasia para un gentilhombre with its gracious nobility and baroque feeling as a masterpiece to match the more famous Concierto de Aranjuez.” (Harp): “Zabaleta plays most beautifully and the recording is immaculate.” (Gramophone)
