  • I did not know the story behind this already staggering piece of music.

    No wonder I'm bawling my eyes out now.

  • Потрясающе красиво... Спасибо.

  • Essence of this piece. Incredible piece...

  • La edicion q combina la entrevista y musica con el concierto en vivo es impresionante. Hace años la vi una ocasion en tv y jamás pude volverla a ver hasta q la encontre en youtube. Gracias por subirla.

  • @MrGerjosan Tienes mucha razón, lo estaba viendo y es una edición buenísima y didáctica, no conocía este material, es fantástico, creo que ya no se hacen cosas así, tanto la música como el video. Yo conocí esta música a través de una versión "disco" que hiciera Herb Alpert en 1978, que me gusta mucho porque dentro de su simpleza mantiene la pasión de este clasico, y me pareció que detrás de ese gran tema obviamente había un gran original, y aquí estoy, echando un poco de cultura en la bolsa.

  • just...WOW! Always loved this haunting piece, but never knew the story behind it.

  • Such a touching and beautiful piece of music, and video.

  • Still (after a bout 35 years when I heard it for the 1st time) "moving" "touching" "emotional" and above all a beautiful piece of music... , & this version of Pepe Romero, with the explenation...... excelent...

  • This piece of music has remained my all time favourite since the very first time I heard it as a teenager some 20 years ago. The inspiration, the story behind it only adds to the emotional experience, how can anyone not be moved by such a splendid piece, I feel great sorry for those unable to experience emotions on this level, and there are many of them. It's a gift to recognise, explore & then communicate emotions, told beatifully here by Pepe. A wonderful video, thankyou.

  • Extraordinary composition, and played with such deep emotion and involvement. So many ways to understand the music.

  • 5:58 phenomenal 

  • So empathic.. I didnt know Romero was so philosophical a nature. wow

  • Siempre creí que este concierto refería el ambiente de Aranjuez, algo mundano pero bello ¡jamas imaginé que escondía una historia tan triste! el pobre y genial Joaquin fué ciego desde niño pero encontró una compañera en su esposa y en la música, ¡ojalá después de muerto pueda seguir oyendo!

  • Siempre creí que este concierto refería el ambiente de Aranjuez, algo mundano pero bello ¡jamas imaginé que escodía una historia tan triste! el pobre y genial Joaquin fué ciego desde niño pero encontró una compañera en su esposa y en la música, ¡ojalá después de muerto pueda seguir oyendo!

  • I always wondered at the sadness in this piece. Great upload, thx

  • Cuando el sentimiento se hace música, sobran las palabras.

  • Cuando el sentimiento se hace música, sobran las palabras.

  • Concerto de Aranjuez has been one of the most inspirational things in my life.

    The story always sends shivers down my spine.

    I think that God talked to Rodrigo in many ways.

    This is the best video on Youtube.

  • @YadQurbany

    This is one of the great artistic achievements of MAN. Don't cheapen it by suggesting it was some conjouring trick by a magic man in the sky.

  • @fellraven

    It is my friend, one of the great artistic achievements of MAN. I couldn't agree more.

    And I believe that MAN is created in the image of God. Not a magic man in the sky, but a God that loves you and has grace on you.

    The whole inspiration of this piece comes from Rodrigo's interaction with God, where Rodrigo talks to God and knows of his grace and greatness.

    This I believe.

  • @YadQurbany Well put Sir, this music does seem to have an aura of the divine. Was Rodrigo also born on the patron saint of music's day too?

  • @YadQurbany

    I do not belive in any " GOD " made/Created by " MAN ", but still..I believe you are right

  • The story behind this fabulous music... touching... goosebumps

    La historia detrás de esta música fabulosa ... tocar ... la piel de gallina

  • Siempre me gusto esta musica, sin ser musico, sin ser especialista en el conocimiento de la musica, pero al descubrir el relato de la historia, me confluyo al corazon; el gusto y el sentimiento puesto de manifiesto por quien conto la historia en clave musical, y tambien por quien interpreta semejante obra.

    A quien agradecer? creo que, a Dios, por hacernos reconocer lo bueno de vivir, con los sentidos bien despiertos!!!. Coco.

  • My wife and I loved this Concerto for many years and I never knew what it was all about. We have two beautiful sons, but along the way we lost five babies. Now, almost every time that I sit and listen to this posting I cry for the loss of our little babies and I feel that this helps me to grieve for their souls. At the same time I love this piece and as a guitarist I can appreciate the technical difficulties.

    My favorite and most visited classical piece.

  • @TOGZEE No sé ingles, pero os deseo mucha felicidad!

  • sorry i dont understand the comments i think mostly they appreciate the music , anyway i think its a truly beautiful song and all the better for knowing the history of how it came about thank you uploader lets hope we all live in interesting times

  • Siempre me había preguntado por qué me estremecía tanto este movimiento (adagio del concierto de Aranjuez)... no tengo palabras para describir lo que siento... es más que hermoso, tal vez celestial...

  • the music sounds so sad

  • sin palabras.....algo sobrenatural....la musica me inunda....dios bendiga esta obra que toca los sentidos.....increible....

  • THERE IS NOT WORD TO SAY ABOUT THIS STORY IS AMAZING.!!!!

  • maravilhosa, wonderfull 

  • God bless you, Joaquín

  • Alguien sabe en que disco de pepe Romero viene esta versión que escuchamos? La versión con St. Martin Fields es diferente y esta es la que más me gusta y no se en que disco la puedo encontrar

  • What can one say about Rodrigo? There are no words for this magnificent piece. It moves one to tears. The depth of feeling is sublime.

  • Perfección, sentimiento y limpieza en la ejecución de esta obra formidable. En sus manos no desmerece en ninguna de sus partes.

  • Cierto es que desconocia la historia de este concierto, ni siquiera lo habia escuchado antes. Solo lo hice por saber a que se referia tante gente cuando hablaban sobre el Concierto de Arnajuez. Desde que lo oi hace a penas unos minutos estoy facinada con el. Aunque no sabia de que se trataba ya de por si se me hacia muy triste ahora que se cual fue la fuente de su inspiracion estoy mas conmovida aun. Gracias por subir este video con esta pequena y gran historia de vida.

  • Definitivamente, que con este video, puedo aún más apreciar y entender la belleza de éste movimiento

  • hermoso !!!!

  • Your Honour,

    The defendant pleads guitly as charged as to having broken the "replay" button. It could not be helped.

    Fantastic.

  • Minha alma está assim...

  • Wow ... I always loved this song but didn´t know the story behind it!

    It is truly an expression of deep feelings.

  • es cierto mauricio, también incluyo el alma judía en esa tristeza enorme que fue dejar la Alhambra. Conozco bien la historia. Es sublime y creo que España no explota bien su arte.

  • 1954Mikel Es verdad que tiene rasgos árabes, pero observo que desconoce que en el tiempo de la inquisición también había hebreos, y todas estas canciones tienen influencia de ambos, o usted desconoce que los Pérez, Marcano. Navarro, etc. son apellidos de origen hebreo y si no léase la BIBLIA, LA Primera, y verá el apellido Pérez, y cuántos Pérez hay en el mundo? Espero que no se incomode, pero esa esa la pura verdad de la Historia. Esta pieza, Concierto de Aranjuez es una verdadera JOYA!!!

  • cuando la escucho imagino la caída de La Alhambra de Granada en 1492, porque la melodía contiene una tristeza árabe bien definida. Tiene "arabescos" musicales. ¿Porque España no hace una pelicula con esta música, referida a este hecho historico?

  • POR FAVOR MIRE EL VIDEO EN YOUTUBE

    ZE PERDIGAO - EM ARANJUEZ COM O TEU AMOR

  • having lost a child myself I findthis work cathartic which is ironic as i am no longer a practicing catholic

  • supeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer

  • Oh look - someone is talking over it!

  • It makes me cry.

  • Thanks for this story I didn't know. I love this music and the Pepe Romero version with Marriner/Academy of St-Martin in the Fields is the best one.

  • Lo amo !!!! No conocía ésta historia.... pero... todos éstos sentimientos se perciben en ésta hermosissima melodía =´(

    Una gran gran Obra Maestra ...!

  • Guys! Where can I find this concerto? I love it so much!

  • very sad

  • Is impossible stop tears hearing this

  • Does anyone know who produced this video?

  • perfect

  • Presencie a Pepe Romero en San Antonio Texas interpretar el concierto de Aranjuez a fines de los años 60s. Los 4 hermanos eran un lujo oirlos tocar. Rodrigo escribio el concierto Andaluz para 4 guitarras exclusivanmente para los hermanos Romeros. Gracias por este posting, maravilloso.

  • Mil gracias maestro , allá donde estés .

  • Es muy conmovedor el video, y muy bonito conocer la historia de esta composicion

  • I thought of this piece when my mum passed away, i thought i would never be able to listen to it for the painful memories but now that i do, it feels loving and warm.

  • I have loved this for many years, but never knew the story behind it. Thank you for this beautiful video.

  • I allvays thaugt that this was his comment to the civil war in Spain and the things that was going on in Europe at the time...but now i know the real story..and it made my eyes fill up to..

  • made my eyes fill up.... quite emotional ... real art !

  • Magnificent...simply beautiful.

  • The great love story and humane tragedy of Rodrigo, which gave birth to his

    utmost genius composition of Aranguez; very often artistic creations are like that.

  • A beleza desta obra, equipara-se a sua tristeza, quando ouvi pela primeira vez eu ñ gostei da musica, posteriormente eu me apaixonei pela musica, estou aprendendo a toca-la, e agora que conheci sua historia passei a respeitar especialmente esta obra.

  • wonderful wonderful insight and history. a rare piece of music & history...perfect.

  • The interpretation of Pepe on this masterpiece is unequaled, he makes the story to come alive, and is not playing music but transferring pure emotion.

  • Has anyone uploaded the music without the talk history?

  • awesome piece so much feeling and such sadness at such a loss very sad.

  • Comment removed

  • excelente, es tan inspiradora

  • Que melodía!!! muy buena esta obra

  • A musica que me aperta o coracao...e me faz chorar. Melodia mais melancolica.

    Se chegar a viver milenios infinitos,nao havera nada que me faca emocionar desta

    maneira! A melodia sempre minha preferida!

  • genial maravillosa la obra del maestro rodrigo, que buenas imagenes y que buenos comentarios del maestro romero.

  • Is not possible.... It makes me cry....

  • I've always loved this piece of music, but having watched this video makes it all the more beautiful, yet so sad. Thank you so much for posting this.

  • /watch?v=c9Zea599Y3A

  • Bella. Simplemente Bella.

  • I can not always express what I feel listening to this piece, but it speaks to me deeply. Je ne peux pas toujours exprimer ce que je ressens en écoutant cette pièce, mais elle me parle profondément.

  • İ cant say what a feel. :S

  • Very lovely but so sad.

  • Wonderful Video!!....This song has always been a favourite of mine.....although I've always pictured images of the middle east (when listening with eyes closed!!)

    Now having seen the story and meaning of the piece, I will appreciate it even more....but I'll still think of Egypt now and then!!

  • Parkening, Adagio, Concerito de Aranjuez:

    watch?v=WTZLlMuzGAo

    regards

  • Beautiful rendition, my favourite classical piece. I wish we had played this at my orchestra.

  • I was watching this interview, introduction to the music...and I was crying.

  • Rivetting story! The most beautiful music ever written and Pepe was born to play it! He brings it to life like no other guitarist.

  • Where can I get this performance without the commentary? I originally had it on Cd but I've lost it! GRRR! Anyone know?

  • Gracias por enseñarme el porqué de su obra extrahordinaria.

  • Very beautiful masterpiece

  • STOP freaking explaining?

  • @freakgypsy :)

  • This is an excellent genre of video, a video that presents the history behind the music. Great! It makes us feel the music better, in a deeper level. Simply great, fantastic!

  • amazing !!! Romero and guitar is amazing to listen too !! WOW !

  • Absolutely beautiful piece of music whether played on classical guitar, brass or wind instruments as each sound wonderful in their own right.

  • Classical period, guitar concerto

  • ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. THANKS!

  • I wonder how thequick strokes of he final outburst were played. I could not played like how he did.

  • Rodrigo was blind. But I HEAR thousands of Images and landscapes - pure and original and abstract and more feelable than any visual image- through his music. It drops me in doubt: who is the real BLIND??

  • The tragedy of Rodrigo and his spirituality created a masterpiece of eternal

    "Graceful Beauty " and gave peace to his sad soul; that was translated in art

    language by guitar and music.

  • @keghamminas i totally agree

  • The tragedy of Rodrigo and his spirituality created an "Eternal Masterpiece of

    Grace and Beauty" and gave piece to his sad soul; that was written in musical

    and guitar language.

  • is there any video footage of rodrigo playing

  • How beautiful!

    It's almost a Spanish Albinoni. I adore it.

    Yes. there's a pulse to which is added the poetry and resignation.

    It moves me to tears and I am the better for it.

  • la cancion mas bella del mundo sin lugar a dudas ,en mi opinion no hay nada que se le compare a esta pieza nos muestra la capacidad de amar que todos llevamos por dentro gracias dios por permitir que un musico llegara a la perfeccion y creara esta locura de encanto y tristeza

  • ... I saw the full documentary on television some time ago ... it was extraordinary ... does anyone know how to get the full documentary?

  • conozco esta pieza casi desde que nací y aun sigo pensando que es la música mas hermosa jamás compuesta

  • I was introduced to this piece by a recording from Paco de Lucia ... and it was awesome. This is equally perfect.

  • Bellisimo!!!!!!! Bravo!!!!!!

  • I still get shivers down my spine during many parts of this piece, even though I've known of this piece for over 5 years now.

  • thanks for the story, Pepe, thanks Rodrigo!!

  • Esto es una maravilla de la música.

  • Impresionante, es increible como el guitarrista cuenta la historia... La pura esencia de la musica.

    La musica me ha hablado y me ha hecho sentir.

    Gracias por este video. Un 10 para todos.

  • This is not a piece of music but a documentary, and from that standpoint it is moving and highly interesting...

  • Comment removed

  • Really beautifulmelody,direct from the soul.

    Images and feelings come a thousandfold ,only pure Spanish guitar music can do this for me..

  • La plus belle version que je connaisse et ils gâchent le charme sous leurs verbiages incessant.

  • @magcetube Non, ce n'est pas gâché. J'ai aussi perdu un enfant à la naissance. C'est une des peines la plus tragique que l'on puisse endurer. Je ne savais pas que Rodrigo avait également connu cela. Ces commentaires m'ont permis d'apprécier une nouvelle dimension de cette magnifique oeuvre.

  • Actualy for me the best version...

    so powerfull, passion, horor, it's miracle..

  • You can truly feel the sadness of the composer in this song.  I think it strikes a deep chord in everyone that hears it. The baby is deceased but his memory & spirit will live forever in this magnificent work of art.

  • inteting coment, what baby u mean ?, yes, this piece is very very melancolica exisntaical and out of depreison senstityvtuy with i share and feel like just few do,

  • The song was written as an expression of his sadness about his son who was born dead.

  • I've seen this piece performed many, many times. There is a certain connection that Pepe Romero has with this music. Now I know what it is. I've never known the story behind the music and it's absolutely beautiful in the telling and of course the listening. Thank you for posting this. And to think that being blind did not stop Rodrigo from composing this. Amazing.

  • Yea Romero definitely does this piece the best in my opinion. No one else makes that climax strumming so intense! It sends shivers up my spine!

  • Beautiful piece of music ruined by the taliking.

  • @copstolemywife nah your confused no other versions have ralking on youtube, i feel thre complete oppposite i've always wonered exacrly what inspired this and wirh that analysis the piece is less enigmatic so...furl.

  • sublime *********10 tank you ali !!!!

  • Wow.. I always loved this 2nd movement, never get tired listening to this beautiful piece. However, now that I understand the story of this work, expressing human suffering, asking GOD for help, and achieving peace... what Beautiful Poetry!!

  • romeros interpretations are so good :)

    hes really the best player of that piece..

  • ya escucharon hablar de musicas de angeles? é ÉSTA aquí

  • What a great Peace of Dokumentation ! Thank u so much for posting. these are the Moments the light of Living shines so bright. Ole !

  • Gracias Maestro Pepe por este gran video....es una joya...gracias....

  • I just want to say the Maestro Rodrigo will keep a special place in the guitar clasical music for this piece. he connect the guiatar, with human drama pain, hope and his sou tool with God.

    braco forever Maestro Rodrigo..

  • this music have a  special power to hit in the bottom of the own feelings this universal lenguage sublime piece for guitar classic

  • This is how heaven will sound if you get to it. Piece of art, a piece of human spirit greatness.

  • seeing rodrigo himself as an old man with his wife brought tears to my eyes.. such disappointment and sadness over the loss of their child is a truly humbling thing.. the most sublime sadness and longing ever put to music.. rest in peace, maestro!

  • É incrível ouvir como as emoções estão tão claras nessa obra prima, é um prazer raro comtemplar tamanha perfeição, ouço essa música desde os 11 anos com a mesma paixão sempre...

  • Que revelador es conocer las circunstancias en que es concebida una obra, entiende uno el porque nos causa emociones que nos parecen extrañas.

  • Simplemente EXTRAORDINARIO.

  • One of the most stirring pieces of music. I think we all have an unfulfilled longing that this music ministers to. It is great to learn the story and to see Rodrigo himself. Out of pain and disappointment germinates the greatest beauty.

    This music is best listened to with a glass of wine and all the lights off.

  • This is The best version ever done!! So moving and lovely. Perfect playing , super conductor and guitar player. This is how this peice should sound in my opinion. Perfect tempo all over the piece. Very Very Beautiful. Neville marriner is one of the 20 th centurys best conductors, and sct martin in the fields was always a top orchestra. LOVELY PERFORMANCE.

  • Bellissimo...

  • Romero's interpretation is the best by far (in may eyes)!

    Someone told me that Rodrigo himself said that de Lucias recording was the best for him but I don't know if he knew Romero's recording then.

  • pepe romero is a legend!

  • buy it from amazon, they have pepe romero, paco de lucia, and julio bream. I wish someone could tell me who is better, pepe romero or bream? on this part.(adaigo). Its killing me, i already bought bream's version, and everyone has different opinion. i am not sure if i made right choice.

  • I see Pepe as a master with truly unique compositioning.

  • I just bought pepe 's cd and the recording doesn't do it justice. It is good but the youtube video is better. I haven't heard bream but I believe that off all the versions that I heard, I think that Pepe plays the piece the closet to the intent of the Rodrigo.

  • this is the first time hearing pepe's so i don't know. I absolutely love breams version but this is incredible.

  • all you listed are masters. it just comes down to preference. i must have listened to about 20 verions. i prefer pepe romero's interpretation.

  • I've been listening to this adagio for 17 years and I've heard dozens of interpretations of it, and for my money Pepe Romero is the only one who can play it properly. The rest just sound too mild, or too wet, or don't count the rests properly, and simply don't understand what this piece is.

    Pepe is the only one who doesn't make a howl of anguish sound like a tango, if you get me.

  • about 25 years ago our music teacher was totally obsessed with this piece,ive loved it ever since,i totally agree with your comment,i too have listened to numerous versions of this piece of music and i have to agree with you my friend, pepe romero is by far the best ive ever heard,peace brother

  • At this level you can't say who is better, it's up to you to make the decision. It's like arguing what is the best wine, once you get to really good wine, it's up to personal choice. I would go even further, I get tired of people using the word "better" or "worse" to compare musicians, musicians have different qualities which might or might not appeal to you, what's the point in letting someone else make up your mind?

  • From a broken but hopeful heart comes a beautiful story. Thank you!

  • THANK YOU PEPE ROMERO for this wonderful lesson

    THANK YOU for letting us know the great composer

    THANK YOU for the scenes in this vid

    THANK YOU !!!

  • Se me ponen los pelos de punta OLE!!!

  • El mejor video que hasta el momento he visto en youtube.

  • thankyou at last I know why this beautiful music tears at the heart P.J

  • A los españoles les encanta crear mitos. Por eso hay esas películas. Pero, ni Pepe, ni Los Romeros interpretran este concierto como los ingleses. Vas a comparar Pepe con J Williams o Bream? Ni con las música española, que ellos siempre fueron mejores.

  • hola, yo creo, con todos mis respetos, que cada uno crea sus propios mitos, de hecho vosotros alabais a PELe, con eso te digo todo

  • Cierto todos los creamos. El mito de que los ingleses no podían tocar guitarra viene de Tárrega. J. Bream, cuando era joven, tocó una pieza de Ponce para Segovia y éste le dijo que no entendía la música por que era inglés. Pero con todo respeto a los Romero, Williams y Breams son maestros indiscutibles de la música española y de la guitarra española. La idolatría a Pelé es abominable y ni compartido por todos.

  • this mans plays well

  • wow that was a beautiful illustration of this piece!

  • Okay okay I give up! I have heard dozens of versions of this song. Please, just tell me where I can buy or download this complete version ASAP! Thank you in advance.

  • Comment removed

  • Please, por favor, le do thoil, se vous plait, faz favor, pelo amor de deus, please post the first and third parts !! Dathi O'

  • Please, please please, post the first and third parts.

  • You know that Rodrigo the composer of Concierto de Aranjuez usually composed for piano, and this was his first work for guitar, now the most famous and most played and admired piece for classical guitar.
