Alison Bendy and Gerald Garcia play an entertaining programme which includes the romantic Second movement of Rodrigo's 'Aranjuez' Concerto and the lively Spanish Dance of Manuel de Falla. Their performance is punctuated with good humoured introductions to the works which range from elegant Renaissance dances to passionate Spanish and Latin American rhythms.
