A nice, respectful reworking of Rodrigo's classic.
Like others, I prefer the John Williams and Miles Davis versions, but there's plenty of room in the world for this rather spacy take on a fabulous piece of music.

Woah... Great segue from Clannad ("Harry's Game").

Beautiful.
Uhg, this version sold an otherwise outstanding composition. If it isn’t the proper John Williams rendition, then I am especially fond of the Jim Hall jazz version.
Just love B-Tribe.

The Miles Davis version every time. His is such an understanding version of the music and contains all the power and the vast saving of the original Rodrigo composition.🐨

I like B-Tribe generally and I love Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez but this mish mash is awful. There are so many much better interpretations of this beautiful work.

The spacey echo in the background is a lead into the next cut on the recording and plays into the overall B-tribe style. Try the whole album, it is fantastic.
The spacey echoing noise in the background is a distraction. Find a recording of John William (the guitarist) doing this one.

That's just fabulous!

I prefer the Pepe Romero recording of this with the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, but this isn't offensive - a 5.
Lovely set to finish off the weekend. ![{#Meditate} {#Meditate}](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/meditate.gif)

I've been meaning to upload Jim Hall's version for a while as well
I especially like the Modern Jazz Quartet version on "In Memoriam", myself.

I feel I am in the dentist office, just add the drill sound next room and the experience is complete.

Nice try, but not quite as moving as the Rodrigo/Paco De Lucia version.
Have to agree with this. This is OK, it's "nice" atmospheric music but no more...
The other is haunting.

Agreed, THE definite modern version, pure genius.
This is the second version of this beautiful song I've heard on RP now. I still recommend the haunting jazzy version titled "Follow Me" from the movie "Ghost in the Shell II: Innocence".

If you like this melody of this piece,I highly recommend the real deal done by Miles Davis on Sketches of Spain. My very first memory of music in 1960, with my dad putting the record on and playing along on his horn.
Oh dear.
Miles is no doubt god-like, but better read this:

This is nice...

B-Tribe... wonderful music when receiving a massage. Or late night work at the 'puter

This album is best when one succumbs to its entirety. Allow for total immersion. Then play Jonathan Elias' Prayer Cycle and wait for the peyote-esque buzz to wear off.....

had a 5 year search for this song... finally
... was worth it for all of our ears ![music](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_music.gif)
Nice try, but not quite as moving as the Rodrigo/Paco De Lucia version.
THIS is what gets picked out of the B-Tribe ouevre?!
Fiesta Fatal is infinitely better... or most of the tracks on Suave Suave.

This is one of the most haunting and beautiful things ever written - but not this version. Too many ominous sound effects. It's moody enough without the theatrics. They've cluttered the gorgeous melody.
Love, love, love this--one of my favorite classical pieces!

Miles Davis or The Romeros for me, every time.
