At the risk of gushing, these works strike me as positively rife with "Spanish Sensibility", and much of it stirs me the same way as the great 20th Century Spanish literature, from Lorca, onwards, yet it is still rooted - like olives, grapes and cypress - deeply into Cervantes, etc. And of all nations, Spain seems to truly relate its identity through the guitar.
Jazz lovers will immediately recognize the Adagio from Concierto de Aranjuez as music adapted by Gil Evans and Miles Davis for the all-time great jazz album, Sketches of Spain.
Best regards,
