Cristian Macelaru returns to take us to sunny Spain, joined by the Grammy™-winning Los Angeles Guitar Quartet. They star in Rodrigo’s Concierto andaluz, a sparkling blend of Baroque music and traditional Spanish sounds. Chabrier may have been a Frenchman, but his Españawas inspired by a trip to Spain; this piece will take you there. Falla’s El amor brujo, teeming with Andalusian influences, never fails to intrigue. And we conclude with another Frenchman’s take on Iberia: Ravel’s rousing Rapsodie espagnole.
