    Torroba Concierto De Castilla and Solo Works Renata Tarrago
    Oct 31 2024

    Spanish Music For Guitar- Odyssey 32 16 0113, 1967 Mono reissue of the 1962 original

    Renata Tarrago 1927-2005 Catalan guitarist

    Torroba Concierto de Castilla Side 1

    Selected Solo Works Side 2

    Side 1

    Adagio, Allegro Moderato

    Lovely opening movement, lots of bravado.

    Movement ends like a sportscar zooming into the garage

    Andante

    Listen for the bells about 2 minutes in.

    Has a very “Disney-like” feel for the bulk of the movement

    Ends with an a la Scaffold Berlioz-esque

    Andante, Allegro Moderato

    Much anticipation in the introduction

    The bells return in the Allegro Moderato

    Once again, the sports car motive come back to end the piece

    Side 2

    Andante Largo, Fernando Sor

    She plays this like how most people play Sor…dry and unimaginative

    Preludio in G Minor, Renata Tarrago

    Barcarolle feel, nice composition

    Minuetto in D Major Op. 11 No. 5, Fernando Sor

    Andante from Sonatina in A, Federico Moreno Torroba

    Static performance, the studio slapback does not bode well

    En Los Triagles, Joaquin Rodrigo

    “In the wheatfields”

    The commentary was recorded on location in Portland, OR with my remote equipment. I picked up this record at Bach & Rock in Astoria, OR while my family was out sightseeing.


    Listen as Aaron gives poignant commentary on a beautiful recording by Julian Bream

Good music selection

Very good music selection. Discovered great artists and songs I hadn't heard before. Audio quality could be better, but these are well worn and much loved vinyl records being played not hi-fi digital or pristine audiophile grade records. Great work Aaron, I hope you continue with the series.
