Aranjuez

Description

The harpist who needs no introduction! Two previous albums (Debussy and Haydn) have established Xavier de Maistre at the top of the global hierarchy on this instrument, confirming his talent as both a performer and an arranger. For his 3rd album with RCA Red Seal, Xavier de Maistre revisits the guitar repertoire of Spanish and Latin American composers that he particularly loves, always accompanied by Bertrand de Billy and the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra. On the menu: the famous Concerto de Aranjuez by Rodrigo, 2 works by Ginastera - the unusual and striking Concerto for harp and Milonga - The Spanish Dance by De Falla and the charming Poetic Waltzes by Granados. And the Recuerdos de la Alhambra by Tárrega, one of the most famous pieces for solo guitar, arranged for harp by Xavier De Maistre. Pure bliss - a masterpiece from a star of the harp.
