Description
The Conceirto de Aranjuez requires no introduction: it is THE most popular guitar concerto ever since it's premier in 1939. The real gem here is the Concierto Andaluz, which Rodrigo dedicated to the Romeros and receives first recording here. The four guitars can be clearly heard to form a small semi-circle in front of a chamber-size orchestra. The strumming and plucking can be discerned even during orchestral climax, but not overly highlighted as so many later issues do. Wonderful music making here. A note on CTFR pressing: they were cut by Mercury mastering engineers and sent to Columbia to press for their Columbia Record Club mail order. Not an "inferior" pressing some commentators alleged.
Recording location/date: Municipal Auditorium, San Antonio, TX/21, Novermber, 1967
Record condition: NM-/EX+ (some light rubbing marks, but plays well)
Cover condition: NM-
Stamper: RFR2/RFR2 dark maroon label
Note: I'm a collector, not a dealer. The reason I'm selling is to downsize my collection. Every record I offer was hand-picked based on its merits on music, performance, and sonics (not necessarily in that order!). I will list recording credentials such as producer, engineer, venue, date, etc. as I believe as an educated buyer, these will offer crucial info for an unfamiliar record to make a buying judgement. Hope you'll find this useful!
