Aranjuez

Montenegrin superstar guitarist Miloš Karadaglić’s recording of Joaquín Rodrigo’s *Concierto de Aranjuez* stands as one of the great interpretations of this cornerstone of the guitar repertoire. But his other choices for this album—lesser-known music by Rodrigo and his great older contemporary Manuel de Falla—show him to be not just a fine musician, but also something of a musical explorer. Falla’s tender tribute to Debussy (“Homenaje pour le Tombeau de Claude Debussy”), written shortly after the Frenchman’s death, contrasts with a flash of color from his famous ballet *El Sombrero de Tres Picos* (*The Three-Cornered Hat*). To finish, Miloš shines a light on Rodrigo’s other great guitar concerto—the lush, neoclassical *Fantasía para un Gentilhombre* (*Fantasia for a Gentleman*), written in 1954 for the legendary Andrés Segovia.
