I play guitar as a hobby and was compelled to comment. The discipline to play on the level of John Williams is superhuman. He is a treasure and the apex of humanity. The world needs less greed/suffering and more music.

There is a sad history behind this masterpiece, Maestro Rodrigo lost his newborn daughter and his wife was extremelly sick. Is a song to God, on the one hand, he reproaches him for his daughter being born dead and, on the other, implores him to save his wife. Once this history is known this beautifull adagio is full of sense.

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.

Who listens to this in the madness of 2022.....sooo beautifull. We need art more than ever and peace

Music is the food of love. We need more music and less wars.

I wish all of mankind would cooperate with love as these musicians do. What a wonderful world this would be.

Absolute chills every single time I hear this masterpiece. I can only imagine what the live audience felt as they listened to this masterful interpretation. Magnificent, absolutely magnificent!!!!❤

This piece of art came from heaven.

So sad, so hauntingly beautiful. An absolute masterpiece.

Ich fühle die warme Hand in meinem Nacken die mir sagt daß alles gut ist und die Liebe NOCH da ist wenn man sie sehen kann. Das wünsche ich jedem Menschen von Herzen.

My Mum adored this...it's 5 years ago this Tuesday that she died, and I am sitting here moved to tears by the absolute power and beauty of this. If grief truly were the inspiration, then it fits that perfectly.

Si el cielo despejado cantará, su tema sería este , para que el sol entrara , en cada corazón con rayos de esperanza , para el mundo

I am watching this and about to write it down into the music for my father’s funeral. He loved this piece so much. I’ve loved it too for many years and now forever will associate it with thoughts of him. He’ll enjoy this and his favourite Rachmaninov from somewhere in the distant reaches of time where I can no longer talk with him, but where the warm teardrops of this music will always be in his heart... Rest in peace to this beautiful music, dad x

This piece takes me to places that I could've never imagined. Makes me melancholy and euphoric at the same time ..... and I love it.

John Williams is one of a kind all around genius. So special! So talented!😊

This is the only piece of music that always brings tears to my eyes. Gracias Don Joaquin.

Thank you, John for turning me into a blubbering wreck for the duration of this track. Music can really stir the soul in most unexpected ways ❤️

Exquisite, absolutely one of the most beautiful pieces of classical music ever composed. It evokes longing- of lost love, of those dearly departed or of love to come.

The crescendo never fails to send shivers down my spine. What a privilege to watch the genius that is John Williams.

An awesome rendition of one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.

This piece always moves me tears, no matter how it is or what it is played on. Sublime.

John's fingers are magical,the perfection of his notes are superb.This piece of music is spell binding,loved it 👍👍

This is my FAVORITE classical guitar piece EVER written.

So beautifully played by John as was the orchestra too. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire performance. “This” is real music and real talent!!

One of those pieces that always gives me the shivers no matter what instrument its played on. The oboe always does it for me as well.

This reminds me of holidays with my late son and husband,Spain Italy , absolutely beautiful always brings a tear !

I love this concierto since I was a little girl and the second movement touchs my heart ❤

The grief and ensuing emotions surrounding the loss of a child was the inspiration for this composition.

Roof down volume max driving driving through the mountain in Switzerland pure bliss

Possibly the most beautiful melody ever.

Sublime music from my most beloved SPAIN ESPAÑA. Beatifuly played by Mr Williams and a fabulous orchestra conducted by Maestro Pappano. Guitar will for ever the authentic instrument for Spanish great music. Outstanding composer Joaquín Rodrigo.

the most beautiful piece ever

Sublime. Its fills my heart with the very essence of my beloved Spain. Haunting and beautiful.

Aranjuez is like a love story that took place in that town or someone met his soul mate during a summer time vacations and don’t want go back. Those notes express nostalgia like you missed the woman of your life.

Such a heart wrenching and emotional piece of music.❤

Eu visitei Aranjuez - ESP, duas vezes e depois descobri o quanto aquele lugar é um banho de cultura e historia.

NOVIT, QUE BUENA EXPLICACION!! LO IGNORABA!!! PERO SIN SABER PORQUE' ME GUSTO' SIEMPRE!!! HERMOSA INTERPRETACION!!! VIVA ESPAÑA TODAAAA!!! SALUDOS DESDE URUGUAY.🇪🇸💓👋

The world seems to be in a state of abject turmoil at present, but this is an antidote to it all. Williams is a master craftsman and the arrangement is exquisite. There is no other deity that comes close to this level of musical perfection.

This master piece is so beautiful and heartbreaking! Never tired to appreciate.

listened many times to the flugelhorn version, especially that in Brassed Off, and only found out today it was originally written for the guitar. So, I looked for it and came across this - MY GOD! it is by far the best..... I don`t think I will ever get tired of listening to this...

I am in bliss listening to the best music ever created!

Самая прекрасная музыка на планете.. Каждый вечер - слушаю. и наслаждаюсь, Как много в ней недосказанной судьбы.. Судьбы невернувшихся из моря.. И о тех, то ждал на берегу..

Just an amazing piece of music composition. It sounds amazing n Doesn’t matter who plays it. That oboe really hits the soul….

Exquisite!! One of my favorite pieces of all time, especially by the extraordinarily talented John Williams.

never ceases to make my hairs stand up.... sooo good

The most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard.

Such a wonderful piece of music and beautifully play by John Williams and the entire orchestra. I was entranced from beginning to end ..... magical experience !

Silahların ruhlarımızı kararttığı dünyada, müziğin evrensel diliyle ruhlarımızın aydınlanacağı bir dünyada yaşama ümidimizi ve gayretimizi artıran tüm sanat emekçilerine selam olsun.

A alguien mas los hace llorar? Invariablemente, tal majestuosidad, tal excelencia, tal exquisitez... y además, no se, el Concierto de Aranjuez, por lo menos en el sur yo lo oía desde muy chiquito. Fabuloso de verdad!!!! Salud a todos!!!

Una de las más hermosas obras que gracias a Dios existe, ese oboe se mete en la piel, o será que es mi instrumento preferido, trasmite melancolía, amo esta pieza.

Guitar play looks so effortlessly. Amazing skill by John Williams!

No matter where in the world I am, when I hear this master work I am immediately transported to the Meseta in northern Spain, walking yet again on the Camino towards Santiago de Compostela

Esta pieza es única. Es un carrusel de emociones, lo adoro. Siempre me provoca nostalgia y tristeza, es una maravilla...

Listen to his dynamics and depth, and try to understand its breath, for it is an expression of despair, love and triumph, far beyond any singular touch! As emotions are hard to capture and so is the will of man. When you hear a master at work on his guitar, it's more than awesome, it is breath taking, which can even make angels cry, and move them to do great things! I know am blessed to have been able to hear such goodness in my lifetime!

Can listen to this all day ,every day ,what a lovely story ❤️

Así se toca el concierto ... Te lo dice un español ❤😂 Maravilloso

It is one of the most beautiful music compositions ever. Full of sorrow but strikingly beautiful and what a joy to hear Master guitarist John Williams performing it.

One of the greatest guitarists of all time.

Simply stunning piece of music, played by a true master of the guitar. I could practice for the next 20+ years and never be that good.

Preciosa interpretación, hermosa orquesta, 🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

My tears are flowing yet this is so beautiful.

Why would 227 people give this beautiful rendition thumbs down??

💯 BRAVOS AU MAESTRO & L’ORCHESTRE PHILHARMONIQUE 💛🎶💛

my late grandad played this on a on lp in the 70s, after getting me to say what the piece was in Spanish. He said it reminded of home, he was an exile from Catalonia, having fought in the civil war and had to flee Spain.

This piece make my spirit fly to heaven.

Beautiful, moving and takes my heart from sadness to peace.

I shed a tear or two every time I click on this & hear that English Horn come in. What a beautiful sound.

Música belíssima, interpretação muito linda no violão clássico e em toda orquestra.

icónico adagio de un concierto para guitarra. hermoso y grandiosa creación de Rodrigo

Beautiful. I love John Williams.

The greatest Classical Guitarist of all time

A real treat ....John Williams has used his own style and interpretation to enhance this very beautiful piece..

9:18 eargasm !! Beautiful...

I like to listen to this late at night after a rainfall in gardens.

Deepest thanks for sharing the inspirational circumstances that inspired the great Rodrigo to write this masterpiece. As with all amazing music it can trigger personal emotional life changing memories in any one of us. For me it is an eternal blessing.

This is the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard. Close your eyes and be taken to heaven.

Gran pieza musical del músico y compositor Español Joaquín Rodrigo i Vidre, nacido en Sagunto y que en los veranos de su jubilación disfrutó de la paz de la playa de los olivos en Cullera.

Transportingly powerful...amazing piece, amazing rendition.

Appreciation of music such as this quiets the soul and brings us closer to the Mind of God.

The one and only John Williams .

Sentimiento, belleza absoluta, inspiración total, ejecucion sublime en una pieza musical que es evidencia y patrimonio de la nobleza humana. Enseñemosla a nuestros hijos y amigos, estaran agradecidos y los hará mejores personas!!

Outstanding musicianship of the highest order.

Moves me to tears every time I listen to this.

Beautifully played, by everyone.

La historia que encierra el Concierto de Aranjuez: En 1933 Joaquín Rodrigo y su esposa, la pianista turca Victoria Kamhi, pasaron su luna de miel en Aranjuez (de ahí el nombre de Concierto de Aranjuez). Un tiempo después se fueron a Alemania. Allí esperaban tener a su primer hijo. El niño nació muerto y su mujer estuvo a punto de morir. En el segundo movimiento Joaquín cuestiona a Dios (orquesta) por el aborto espontáneo que ha tenido su mujer, perdiendo a su hijo y rogando que su mujer se mantuviera viva; esto se expresa mediante el pulso de la guitarra (al comienzo del segundo movimiento), que representa un corazón latiendo. El movimiento tiene pena, rabia y desesperación. Al final, en el clímax de la guitarra y la orquesta (que representa a Dios), Joaquín Rodrigo "oye a Dios" y por fin se produce la rendición y aceptación de los hechos, hasta alcanzar la paz tan anhelada por Joaquín Rodrigo (final del concierto).

I remember when I first bought this recording, box set at the time, have loved it ever since such beautiful music

this is a masterpiece of music that brings me to tears, so passionate, like the human spirit...beautiful

If I was in the audience, I'd be asked to leave because of the uncontrollable sobbing! An utterly amazing piece of music.

Maguinífica !! Paz para alma! Acalma o coração ❤

Es una música maravillosa ,que llena de recuerdos y sentimientos muy grandes a mi corazón inolvidable❤

An orchestra, a musical ensemble, any collection of fine musicians playing a wonderful composition, giving their talent, knowledge and feeling to the re-creation of music, working together for the purpose they share is a wonderful act of humanity, unlike almost any other. If only we, the human race, could perform our other endeavors in the same way !

This is, arguably, my favorite, the second movement of the most fascinating, Concierto De Aranjuez. The second movement is so powerfully beautiful and completely engaging, that it made me cry. Joaquin Rodrigo’s my favorite Spanish composer alongside Russian’s Nikolai Rimsky Korsakov and American composer Jerry Goldsmith. Beethoven’s my favorite German composer, Offenbach,, being my favorite French composer ( I also like Camille Saint Saens and Claude Debussy too). John Williams is my favorite guitarist, Jacqueline Du pre, cellist and Joshua Bell, violinist. My favorite horn player is now tied as both Dennis Brain AND Barry Tuckwell.

Maravillosa ejecución de un gran guitarrista y de una magnífica orquesta, enhorabuena!!

Der Meister der klassischen Gitarre, phantastisch!

it is being in another world simply when you listen to it! thx a mil senor!

The most beautiful rendition of one of the few pieces of music that stirs me to tears

Loved it !..John Williams at his best. .The Guitar is a serious and respected musical instrument. .Thanks again!!!

paco de lucia's version will always be my favorite. much respect to john williams.
