The centerpiece of the album is undoubtedly Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez," a work that has become synonymous with the guitar concerto genre. The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra's rendition is a testament to their skill and artistry, capturing the essence of this beloved piece with grace and precision.
Complementing these established works are lesser-known gems such as "Folias" and "Concerto pour Guitare et Petit Orchestra," which showcase the orchestra's ability to bring fresh perspectives to the classical canon. The album concludes with Castelnuovo-Tedesco's "Concierto No. 1 in D Major, Op. 99," a vibrant and energetic piece that leaves a lasting impression.
