Happy birthday, Pepe!

For his 80th birthday, old master Pepe Romero presents himself and us once again with an extensive European tour. Together with the Orquesta Sinfónica de Castilla y León, he fills the Elbphilharmonie with rousing Spanish sounds - above all the wonderful Concierto de Aranjuez. By choosing the guitar - probably the most Spanish of all instruments - Joaquín Rodrigo paid homage to the folk music of his home country in this concert and at the same time dared to experiment: never before had anyone combined the guitar as a solo instrument with an orchestra. The "experiment" became his greatest success. At its premiere in Barcelona in 1940, the composer was already celebrated for his ingenious and cliché-free integration of Spanish folklore.
