King Philip II
Tonight we'll hear Joaquin Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez," his delightful musical depiction of the gardens of King Philip II in 16th century Spain. The work proved so popular that the modern city of Aranjuez erected a monument in Rodrigo's honor, and Rodrigo himself was given the title "Marquis of the Gardens of Aranjuez" by King Juan Carlos in 1991.
Violinist Jaime Laredo takes on Schubert's Grand duo Violin Sonata with pianist Stephanie Brown in our second hour — listeners can catch the real thing at Carnegie Hall this thursday. Winding up tonight's program is Philip Glass's "Orphée" Suite for piano, based on his 1993 opera (which in turn is based on Cocteau's 1949 film of the same name).
