En los Trigales
Joaquín Rodrigo (1901-1999)
Having written some of the most popular and vital pieces for the guitar, Joaquín Rodrigo remains a central figure in the instrument’s history. “En los trigales” (“In the Wheat Fields”) dates back to 1938, written upon his return to Spain following his academic years in France. An impressionistic and picturesque quality permeates the score, serving as a perfect example of Ridrigo’s exceptional ability to bring out the natural colors of the guitar.
