This double CD, dedicated to orchestral works with soloists by Joaquín Rodrigo (1901-1999), has been released to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the composer’s birth. It encompasses over four decades of Rodrigo’s compositional activity, from the early Tríptic de Mossèn Cinto, a song cycle composed in 1935, to the late Concierto como un divertimento for cello and orchestra, written in 1981. The disc features the cellist Asier Polo (Concierto como un divertimento and Concierto in modo galante), Laura Salcedo, Principal Second Violin of the Spanish National Orchestra (Concierto de estío), the French harpist Marie-Pierre Langlamet (Concierto serenata, Sones en La Giralda) and the soprano Raquel Lojendio (Tríptic de Mossèn Cinto).
