Acclaimed since its first performance in 1940, Concierto de Aranjuez was the breakthrough of this great Spanish composer's career. Written for solo guitar and orchestra, Rodrigo marries the relatively small voice of the guitar with the full sound of the orchestra.

Critical Acclaim

One of America’s leading guitarists, Jason Vieaux is changing the face of guitar. He has earned the reputation of making “the single guitar seem like a body of instruments at work…an orchestra of sound…” (The Philadelphia Inquirer).

"…among the elite of today's classical guitarists."
—Gramophone

“…a tough act to follow.”
—The Washington Post
