It is interesting to compare the sound here to the previous reel, and how sitting in a different part of the concert hall gives the audience a completely different perception. The spacious sound here certainly suits the 2nd movement of the (here with the ASO)

Having sought out 100s (there are some great ones), I can confidently say that this is still the best concerto ever written. It has magic in its themes, solo part, orchestration. Some audience clips of Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez with the ASO last month.

Rehearsing on the day of the concert a couple of weeks back, playing Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez, with the ASO. It's always a delight to play this concerto. We guitarists are blessed to have it in the repertoire.

Fantastic to perform with the ASO for the 3rd time last night, playing the Concierto de Aranjuez for a packed Ayr Town Hall. With great viola playing from Niall O'Gallagher!
The famous 2nd movement was particularly magical.

Happy New Year from several Bengalis (and a Nepali), showing their appreciation for bongodorshon (বঙ্গদর্শন) ... and a Scottish musician at the end, trying out some Bengali in a Scottish accent, with a little musical flourish 😁
