Joaquín Rodrigo’s Century—in Spanish with English Subtitles

Refined, luminous, and fundamentally optimistic, the music of Joaquín Rodrigo is a tribute to the rich and varied cultures of Spain. Filmed on location throughout Europe, this captivating program profiles the influential Spanish composer whose life spanned the 20th century and whose works set the standard for guitar technique in modern Spanish music. Performance clips from his Concierto de Aranjuez, Fantasia para un Gentilhombre, Concierto Andaluz, and other compositions let the music speak, while interviews with many who knew him—family members, fellow composers, musicians, biographers—provide a verbal counterpoint. (Spanish with English subtitles, 55 minutes)
