JoaquĂn Rodrigo is best known as the composer of one of the most
popular works of music in the classical repertoire—the Concierto
de Aranjuez for guitar and orchestra. Jazz great Miles Davis said
of the work, “After listening to it for a couple of weeks, . . .
I couldn’t get it out of my mind,” and used it as inspiration
for his album Sketches of Spain. But Javier Suárez-Pajares and
Walter Aaron Clark demonstrate in this musical biography that
Rodrigo’s work and influence extend far beyond that singular
work. Blinded in infancy, Rodrigo didn’t allow visual limitations
to prevent him from pursuing his passion for music; traveling to
study in Paris; connecting with a wide range of musicians, authors,
and artists; and navigating the political and cultural complexities
of Franco’s Spain. Though firmly grounded in the traditional
music of Spain, his creative reach extended to a wide variety of
styles, genres, and media. He was as versatile as he was prolific
and, one hundred years after his first serious composition, remains
a figure of global renown.
