Joaquín Rodrigo evokes the spirit of Spain in his musical picture of the Alhambra and, in Music for a Garden, of the garden of El Retiro in Madrid. Juglares (‘Jugglers’), was the composer’s first orchestral work. It demonstrates the characteristic clarity of Valencian music and was praised by the influential critic López-Chavarri as a work of major significance. The Piano Concerto, full of passion and demanding great virtuosity from the soloist, is a revised version of the 1942 Concierto heroico. Homenaje a la tempranica (‘Homage to the precocious girl’) is a tribute to Gerónimo Giménez’s zarzuela La tempranica (1900), its music subtle and elegant.
