John Williams - J. Rodrigo - Adagio from Concierto de Aranjuez

[Lionantic]

Simplement magnifique. J'ai écoûté des milliers de morceaux de musique, de cultures différentes (arabe, française, anglaise, russe, indienne, turque, tzigane, africaine...). Or ce "Concierto de Aranjuez" espagnol est très nettement l'un de mes favoris.

De quoi je me mêle, oh man !

Merci.

[tmwiss]

What is the name of the Orchestra?

[MrEddiger]

EL ADAGIO MÁS HERMOSO PARA GUITARRA JAMÁS COMPUESTA QUE HAYA ESCUCHADO, ME TRASTOCA EL ALMA. ME SUME EN UNA INTENSA Y HERMOSA MELANCOLÍA MEDITATIVA. LARGA VIDA A JOAQUÍN RODRIGO.

@grrgrrgrr1000 lol.

[THeBEEtleNAMEdGEORGe]

one of the greatest compositions the world has ever seen, and prehaps the greatest composition we will ever see. ive listened to many versions of this song. from John Williams to Miles Davis to Hank Marvin. but, i think my favorite version is that of an argentinian guitarist Ernesto Bitetti ,who played almost the exact same thing as John Williams, but something about the way he plays the guitar just makes this already amazing composition just out of this world.

[DreamsFairyblue]

En verdad les digo ke esta musica es hermosa me lleno el alma e hizo olvidar todo cuento cargaba dentro

[PoliticalDestruction]

John Williams is God!

[BoskiKrzys]

@PoliticalDestruction maybe :P Marcin Dylla is much better

[puffin51]

This is not some soloist show-pony, though. The musicianship is that of a virtuoso, but one that is playing with other virtuosi. Watch his eyes. When he is playing ensemble, he is watching the conductor. Watch the other musicians. They are not accompanying a soloist, they are playing great music together.

[CaptainChirac]

John Williams did that? BS, GTFO.

Fantastico

[srojo1000]

one of the most poignant pieces every written. Man, it is beautiful, isn't it?

[wessyuk]

type ... brassed off ... to hear a superb brass version of this classic

[BCD558]

Rodrigo was a genius – just close your eyes and listen to the interplay between the brilliant guitar of Williams and the horns. The music is nothing short of a conversation that expresses love, tenderness and passion… this piece of music simply transcends the need for language. Beautiful and timeless! The world is a better place each time it is played.

[warlockig]

he looks so wooden, but there is so much emotion pouring out of his guitar. How does he do that?

[TheSyriaalassad]

بالعربي الفصيح - رائع - هذا ما تطرب له الأذن وتنسجم معه الروح

[Mr2000HD]

This performance has to be one of the best ever versions of this magical masterpiece, and who better to play it than John Williams.

[Hieronymus94]

hermoso



[Mitsos7100]

John Williams is the best guitar player in the world.This music is amazing and spectacular!!!

With privacy protected by username, I'll say that as a twenty-something in the 60's, I succumbed to friends' encouragement to take LSD. Without criticizing their judgment, I'll say that it gave me flashbacks that made me near-suicidal and profoundly disoriented. The one thing that always worked to restore my soul was to listen to the vinyl disc of John Williams' recording of the Concierto de Aranjuez. I'm here because a facebook pal asked, "What song can you honestly say changed your life?"

[petegreenwood1]

@BBRENTTAGHAPP

No, different John Williams mate.

[edcard29]

¿Porque demonios casi todos los comentarios son en inglés?

[Trombonist666]

@BBRENTTAGHAPP it most certainly is not

[BBRENTTAGHAPP]

@Trombonist666 yea i realized this like an hour after i posted this comment. SORRY GUYS, I'M HUMAN. but still both John Williams are really awesome musicians :)

Sven Goran Eriksson does a cracking job on the ol' guitar there, don't he.

Interesting concert apparel :P

sei grande

[SwingDanceBand]

Sad? It is a slow romance, the very soul of Spain

[qualzf1]

beautiful sound !

[cursivenight]

wow. the sound is so amazing. absolutely gorgeous.

[SwingDanceBand]

Please tell me where this was filmed and what group (orhcestra) is playing?

[osdon]

@SwingDanceBand not sure which orchestra but it was filmed at the Alhambra Palace in Granada Spain......and BTW holy shit what an AMAZING performance. I never get tired of hearing this wonderful piece.

[1945nairda]

@osdon  it was filmed at the Alcazar Palace in Sevilla.

[FutureFashionSurvey]

Thanks to John Williams, Joaquin Rodrigo and to these unnamed artists who have dexterously played this piece. To everyone in the crew who have made this music output possible, words are not enough to commend you. We at Future Fashion Survey admire you. Excellente!

[SuperGukke]

I can't believe that this new version is even better than the other, older one here on youtube! Thank you so much for posting this! And an even greater thanks to John Williams for his magnificent playing! Words cannot describe how much I enjoyed this performance!

[314ist]

So very sad,so very beautiful. Sublime!!

[SwingDanceBand]

@314ist This piece was a response to marital bliss and sadness. In her autobiography, Victoria, his wife, eventually declared that it was both an evocation of the happy days of their honeymoon and a response to Rodrigo's devastation at the miscarriage of their first pregnancy.

[SalMessina1]

Questa è musica per quanti hanno il cuore nobile!

Grazie!

p.s. per conoscenza, io ho il cuore nobilissimo e tu non puoi farci un bel...

[SarkoHamaAmin]

how can i get the tab for this music ?

[1945nairda]

The story as I understand it was that Rodrigo took his pregnant wife to germany and she had the baby in germany. The baby dies and he blamed himself for taking them away from Spain. Thet never had any more children and his wife became his eyes as he went blind. Knowing that story, is it any wonder that this super emotional piece of wonderful music makes others eyes water. No matter how many times i hear it, it has the same effect.

[1945nairda]

Where was it filmed?

[theyin1]

@1945nairda Its the Alcázar of Seville.

[elmsclose]

Sometimes it does us good to realise what is important, when I lose track or feel I'm doing rather well I make sure I listen to this, it grounds me and reminds me that I am a speck of sand and although awful things happen mankind can produce beauty. I hope I can pass my love of this piece to our three daughters,my wife already understands

[SteveyJennings]

No dislikes... this pleases me.

[silverspaniard]

Guy, I am a retired homicide cop. There are sometimes in your life that you need to have somewhere peaceful to go to. The music of Rodrigo and the way it is played by John Wiliams somehow helps to put the past into a calming perspective. I have seen a lot of bad things which I hope to never see again. Music helps me to do this and Rodrigo just about has it nailed.

[guyfihi]

I am a Vietnam veteran and for some reason the overwhelming sense of grief conveyed this piece has always made me think of my friends that didn't make it back from that horrible time in my life. I can't listen to it without getting emotional, and I'm a big tough guy. Funny how music touches the soul sometimes.

[RichAStrong]

When i first heard it, I ws puzzled as to what could inspire such emotion; then I was informed that it was written shortly after the Rodrigos lost their daughter.

[imo58]

Yepes reached the pinnacle in this piece, none prevailed ever since....

[juzamie]

Zero dislikes.. as it should be!

[MrChenteRodriguez]

Es interesante comparar Paco de Lucia, JWilliams y NYepes en esta obra. Todos son buenos, pero creo que la sonoridad de la Guitarra de Yepes le hace ganador. Williams creo que es mas tecnico y mejor sin orquesta. Paco es mas emotivo pero hay que cuidar que la ejecucion sea equilibrada en ambas cosas. Este adagio requiere cierta paz interna.

[fusa1290]

@MrChenteRodriguez Concuerdo totalmente.

[XxxXSmallDaddyXxxX]

Fg !

[mntkolora]

me gusta mas como lo interpreta paco de lucia no solo armonica o melodicamente,sino ritmicamente tambien

[shortytimmy]

so beautiful , so sad , so peaceful

[JHamerling]

John Williams really is the best of the best. He rocks bigtime. Thanks

[noon2nite]

beautiful

[pmansa]

John Williams, el mejor guitarrista en concierto que ha existido nunca.

[Cerebralcinema]

One of my all time favorites. This is at The Alhambra is it not? You gotta love the Spanish guitar. Love the English horn too.

[Traianeum]

@Cerebralcinema No, It is the Royal Alcazar of Seville, the oldest royal palace in Europe that continues discharging its duties as such, that is, as official residence of the King of Spain in Seville. Although its appearance is partially Arabic, It was built by the christian king Pedro I of Castille in the fourteenth century -1364-, more than a century after It have occurred the reconquest of Seville to the moors -1248-. It was declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1987.

[paulocunha61]

Realmente magistral!

[poupee58]

masterful as always

[donlemedwn]

the guy in the back at the beginning looks like john stewart from the daily show. wow john, yas got talent

[44landri]

This music speaks to the very soul of Spain. Hearing this I get to see and understand the very core of my late father's being. Though born very far away from Spain, this music serves as an unbreakable and vibrant twine that connects me to the land of my ancestors. We owe Rodrigo a great debt and are indeed fortunate that he has unleashed this music, the depth and power of his feelings into a world that is in great need of passionate arousal.

[nmitchell076]

@44landri

More then that, it expresses the very soul of humanity

[cod4fishy]

@44landri Now that's deep. :D

[lansingmanor]

@44landri

bs

[CNFrostXY]

@44landri Yes we must always keep master Rodrigo in our heart, his first child sacrificed for this.

Spanish typical music. Not all music is flamenco in Spain, there are sad things...

Is it possible to say something else?

Just listening and watching this makes me want to cry..it's so beautiful
