Description:
Guitarist Sharon Isbin, born and raised in snowy Minnesota, has a direct connection to Rodrigo's sun-splashed Spanish masterpiece, Concierto de Aranjuez. She became close personal friends with the composer, and heard his deeply personal stories of how this music came to be. She pours that into her masterful interpretation of this beloved piece.
