October 22, 2008 "Obscurity to Fame"
<Listen To Preview>


This week's edition of Classical Guitar Alive! features music ranging from the obscure to famous. Not much is known about Baroque lutenist composer Corignani- his birth and death dates are even a mystery. His only known surviving work is his four-movement concerto for two lutes in Bb. John Schneiderman performs both parts of the first movement.

From one of the most unfamiliar to one of the most famous: Joaquin Rodrigo's (1901-1999) "Concierto de Aranjuez" for guitar and orchestra was an immediate resounding success from its 1940 premiere to present-day.

The program concludes with a work somewhere in the middle of the two previous pieces: Federico Moreno-Torroba's (1891-1982) "Castles of Spain", for solo guitar, from the 2007 Naxos release featuring Ana Vidovic.
