The Concierto de Aranjuez is a composition for classical guitar and orchestra by the Spanish composer Joaquin Rodrigo. Written in 1939, it is far and away Rodrigo's best-known work, and its success established his reputation as one of the most significant Spanish composers of the twentieth century.

Very nice piece of music.  Thanks RP.

 

Calming? I suppose it's calming when you're dead but that doesn't mean I want to go there either. Ok, play jazz but make it worth listening to or make it short. Eight minutes of that pot rattling is way too long.

Mo' Miles please Bill!  Only 10 tracks in the library.

This song is very calming. I need to hear it more!

Jeez what a tuneless dirge. I really don't understand what people find to like in this guy's output.
File under avoid. 

Aural bliss. A treat for both the head and the heart.

Brilliant choice Bill, a fine tune for a hot Southern Hemisphere afternoon...

I can dig that. But I hear more Joan Miro here than Picasso. This transforms me. I picked up a new Mac Air yesterday, and replaced my ear buds (right one blown). Guess which album I played to test the new buds?....Sketches of Spain. You can literally hear the tongue on the oboe reed.

Happy holidays...

Exquisite, very rewarding. Rodrigo's original piece is THE one, but Miles's take is innovative and engaging. I don't find this boring in the least, and it retains its emotional depth.

From RP's home page: "RP is a blend of many styles and genres of music, carefully selected and mixed by two real human beings. You'll hear modern and classic rock, world music, electronica, even a bit of classical and jazz."

It's that eclectic mix that brings me here, because little bores me more than a single genre station playing variations on a limited theme all day. The mix is what RP is all about so unfortunately you'd better learn to use the PSD button or get over the occasional jazz track, because it'll come up regularly.

Meanwhile, as for this track, Miles kind of passes me by I'm afraid. Nothing I can get nourishment from, but nothing I can be critical of either. That makes it a 5 from me I guess.

Considering there are rarely 2 songs of the same genre played within the same hour on RP this statement is just stupid. RP isn't a jazz station, or a rock station, or a prog station, or an electronica station, or a folk station, or a adult contemporary station. It's a music station. Learn things, Roger.
Also, Miles is God.

If you don't get this, well.... you don't get it.

Not my favourite Miles, but still excellent.

painful

When the castanets started, I took off my headphones to see what my kids were doing - sometimes old stereo recordings are amazing.

Not gonna complain about this one. It's classic. But when it first started with the percussion, I saw little metal bugs scuttling across the landscape in a bad Outer Limits episode.

This is so boring.
I know it's blasphemy in certain circles. But, please make it stop.

Ah, Miles playing low without his ususal croak...he should have played in this register more. He could do it all...

beautiful...  love it...

But they just break. 

Yoou keep playing Nu2Mi music. I keep buying from Amazon. Collection keps growing and growing. Thank you, I think

It's kind of like the Picasso of jazz.

 

Everybody in my hotel room loves this music...
 

This is a 10. Now, Bill, play the original Rodrigo track. Exquisite and perfect.
