The "concert of Aranjuez" interpreted in Cadiz

The Aranjuez Concert is, without any doubt, one of the most popular performance of the spanish music. It has been interpreted on the international scale and it is a real life insurance for music sellers and event organizers. Against all forecasts, it was not that a great success of Rodrigo to fill the Falla Theatre in Cádiz last night, but anyway an acceptable audience was registered.
But the event would have been worth a full house. Maybe, the ones who did not assist unknew that Marco Socías is, at the present time one of the finest, most elegant and perfectionist guitar players on the musical universe. He has the musical sense of Rodrigo (not only in the Aranjuez Concert, but specially in the Aranjuez Concert, which because of its popularity always run the risk of triviality) and his play shows lucidity and deep perception.
Salvador Brotons (director of the Orchest of Cordoba, who was born in Barcelona, 1959) is, without any doubt an intelligent musician, which as composer has a large catalogue of tone, colour works and furthermore, well written, who knows to sell himself.
The four compositions which he presented yesterday seemed to come from another epoque, and they have the distinctive flavour we have listened to a thousand times. But these are performances that are outstandingand that do not need any theoric speech to justify them. The audience saves them, feels comfortable because of the clarity of the writing, the brightness of the voices contrast, and the harmony coloured by the Mediterranean. The descriptive character of the “Suite del Zodiaco Chino”, with the end in crescendo, made the audience to achnowledge the performance with rapturous applause.
