Title: renewing acquaintance with a little magic
Review: Thirty plus years ago, I had a vinyl disc of this masterpiece ... and deeply regretted it being damaged accidentally ... far too early a loss ...To have found a quality CD of the same performance was a great pleasure ... made more so by hearing again that magical interpretation of the second (adagio) movement Rodrigo's Concerto de Aranjuez ....This concerto has been recorded many times .... by classical musicians (my favourite is by John Williams (guitar) with the Orquesta Sinfonica de Sevilla (José Buenagu, conductor) in The Seville Concert) ... by jazz musicians (for example, Miles Davis) ... and, in my count, on four occasions by the MJQ ...However, to my mind, none of them can approach the standard of shear listening pleasure available from the collaboration of the MJQ with Laurindo Almeida ... Product warning : For maximum pleasure, listen with great concentration ... This is NOT back-ground music.
