Rodrigo Guitar Concerto
Joaquin Rodrigo's Concerto de Aranjuez is perhaps the most popular guitar concerto of all time. Even if you don't think you know it, there's a good chance you've at least heard the gorgeous, tender slow movement. In today's show, flamenco guitarist Juan Manuel Canizares performs it with the Berlin Philharmonic, from their special 2011 Europa concert.
