Joaquín Rodrigo in 1960 | photo by Juan Gyenes
Spanish composer Joaquin Rodrigo wrote his Concierto Serenata for harp and orchestra in 1952 for the Spanish harpist Nicanor Zabaleta. Rodrigo said that he endeavored "to make the entire work light, clear and joyful, like the harp's child-like soul." And one reviewer said that the Concierto "is like taking a 25-minute spin on a pair of rented angel wings." Take flight with Rodrigo's Concierto, today's Midday Masterpiece.
