Two iconic masterpieces of the twentieth century come together on this exceptional release that will be available on vinyl and digitally: Joaquín Rodrigo’s "Concierto de Aranjuez" and Maurice Ravel’s "Boléro".
Recorded at Valencia’s renowned Palau de la Música, the album combines a live performance of Rodrigo’s celebrated guitar concerto and the rarely heard "Tiento Antiguo" (June 2024) with a studio recording of Ravel’s mesmerizing Boléro (February 2026). Together, these works reveal two distinct yet complementary visions of musical Spain, viewed through the lenses of one of Spain’s greatest composers and one of France’s most brilliant orchestrators.
At the center of the recording is acclaimed Croatian guitarist Ana Vidović, whose artistry, technical mastery and expressive depth have made her one of the leading guitarists of her generation. She is joined by the Orquesta de Valencia under the direction of Alexander Liebreich, whose dynamic leadership has further strengthened the orchestra’s position among Spain’s leading symphonic ensembles.
From the poetic lyricism and emotional intensity of Concierto de Aranjuez to the irresistible rhythmic momentum and dazzling orchestral colors of Boléro, this release captures music of enduring beauty, passion and brilliance. The combination of live spontaneity and studio precision makes for a compelling listening experience and a distinguished addition to any classical vinyl collection.
