I heard Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez last night in a performance by the Australian guitarist Craig Ogden and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra under their permanent conductor Marin Alsop. There was a pre-concert interview with the soloist. He has had the advantage of contact with Rodrigo’s daughter who approves of his art. He has discovered the source of inspiration for the plaintive second movement, the heart of the work. It was written with the painful memory of the death of a child in infancy, and the last ascending chords moving into silence stand for the upward movement of the child’s soul.
