Back to Europe we come with tonight's post with Joaquín Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez.

The piece was inspired by the gardens at the Royal Palace of Aranjuez, Spain, and its beauty is all the more remarkable because Rodrigo was from the age of three almost completely blind.

It's as beautiful and vivid a portrait of a place as you can find in music. I hope that it brightens your day, whatever the time may be!
