this song evokes the feeling of finally feeling happy and free after a long struggle

hearing the entire orchestra come in after the solo guitar part at 8:49 is genuinely one of the most intense climaxes i've heard in a classical piece. spiritual experience.
rivals the climax in 
Hamlet Fantasy Overture, Op. 67, TH 53. the climax of this song is much more hopeful and triumphant - the one in hamlet fantasy sounds like the end of the world

i was first drawn to this track because i recognized al di meola but after listening to paco de lucia's rendering of 
Concierto De Aranjuez: 2. Adagio i dug more into his playing
Concierto De Aranjuez: 2. Adagio i dug more into his playing
he's a flamenco player and plays all the fast runs on this song with alternating index/middle finger movement. his playing would be unfathomably fast for someone playing with a pick; i genuinely have no idea how it's possible to play this fast using your fingers.
the first time i was exposed to the idea of the "picado" technique was through matteo mancuso - see
