Paco de Lucía Concierto Aranjuez - Adagio

When you see Paco de Lucia playing with a roomful of classical musicians, this seems to refute the comment in the following article about how guitars get murdered when included in the orchestration for symphony.

Listen to the dynamics of the orchestration since the other instruments back way off when Senor de Lucia is playing.  It's true that a symphony orchestra can easily murder a guitar but that doesn't have to happen if you're incredibly attentive to the orchestration.




Ed:  aren't you the Senor Tutor now?

Not really as I saw this one after hearing Ana Vidovic and I saw that Senor de Lucia was in concert with multiple other musicians so I wondered how they made it work.  Presto, it's all in the dynamics.
