Details

Globally recognised amongst the top rank of classical guitarists, John Williams has made over thirty best-selling recordings across a broad range of styles, including music for films such as Deerhunter (Cavatina), A Fish Called Wanda and collaborations with groups such as Sky, Attacca and Inti Illimani. The most celebrated classical guitarist in the world, John Williams, performs what is surely the most popular guitar concerto in the world: Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez. The Concerto conjures up the palatial gardens at Aranjuez, and, as Rodrigo recalled: "the fragrance of magnolias, the singing of birds, and the gushing of fountains". The evening also features the new Guitar Concerto by Stephen Goss, a work championed by John Williams, and premi?red by the RPO at Royal & Derngate in 2012.
