“Music, Musings and Memories" with the Classical Guitar. Your host (Aaron Powell) gives background on the Artists/Composer(s) from his LP collection. Listeners will hear commentary on the performers, and composers before listening to side one. Aaron will share remarks, anecdotes and asides relating to his personal experiences as a musician. Then we flip over to side two and enjoy the rest of the music. Aaron lives in Des Moines with his wife and two daughters, maintains an active performance schedule, has a thriving guitar studio, and does his best to balance musicianship with family life.

Torroba Concierto de Castilla Side 1
Selected Solo Works Side 2
Side 1
Adagio, Allegro Moderato
Lovely opening movement, lots of bravado.
Movement ends like a sportscar zooming into the garage
Andante
Listen for the bells about 2 minutes in.
Has a very “Disney-like” feel for the bulk of the movement
Ends with an a la Scaffold Berlioz-esque
Andante, Allegro Moderato
Much anticipation in the introduction
The bells return in the Allegro Moderato
Once again, the sports car motive come back to end the piece
Side 2
Andante Largo, Fernando Sor
She plays this like how most people play Sor…dry and unimaginative
Preludio in G Minor, Renata Tarrago
Barcarolle feel, nice composition
Minuetto in D Major Op. 11 No. 5, Fernando Sor
Andante from Sonatina in A, Federico Moreno Torroba
Static performance, the studio slapback does not bode well
En Los Triagles, Joaquin Rodrigo
“In the wheatfields”

The commentary was recorded on location in Portland, OR with my remote equipment. I picked up this record at Bach & Rock in Astoria, OR while my family was out sightseeing.
Listen as Aaron gives poignant commentary on a beautiful recording by Julian Bream
