"A Celebration of the Spanish Guitar" brings warmth and color to the Barbican in a concert with Andalucía at its heart. In music inspired by tradition and suffused with lyrical melody, the lustrous tone and rhythmic energy of the guitar captures the sounds and sensuality of Spain in a way no other instrument can. While dramatic excerpts from Bizet's Carmen and Rossini's spirited Barber of Seville overture vividly evoke the Spanish scene, the heart of the concert is one of the world's most popular concertos: Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez, a creative fusion of folksong influences and imaginative orchestration. Rodrigo's "Fantasia para un Gentilhombre" gives 17th-century themes a fresh and inventive twist, with Torroba's lively "Sonatina" completing the program. Soloist Rolando Saad displays his mastery of the guitar and virtuoso performance technique.

When Nikhil Banerjee died in 1986, India didn't just lose one of its greatest sitar players, but one of its most influential classical musicians. A former child prodigy who won the All-Bengal sitar competition at the age of nine, Banerjee grew up to earn international acclaim as a highly skilled musician. According to The San Francisco Chronicle, Banerjee's "technique is a phenomenon, faster than cheetahs, more secure than the dollar." Music And Musicians observed that "his improvisations always sound completely natural and spontaneous.." In an obituary published after his death, The New York Times wrote "the extraordinary fluidity and assurance of his rhythmic ideas and phrasing set a standard that would have left the more international 'stars' of Indian music behind."

"Carmen Sings Monk" is just one of five new reissues in BMG's First Editions series, released under the rejuvenated Bluebird Jazz label. Other titles in the series' first offering include Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney (Fancy Meeting You Here), Coleman Hawkins (The Hawk in Hi-Fi), Charles Mingus (Tijuana Moods) and Gil Scott-Heron (Free Will). Each release features enhanced sound quality, detailed liner notes, archival photographs and in most cases, special bonus/unreleased tracks. Recorded in 1988, Carmen Sings Monk contains two live tracks recorded at The Great American Music Hall, 11 original studio tracks, and five bonus/alternative selections. Adding words to Thelonious Monk's complex, quirky compositions would pose a challenge to any lyricist, but Jon Hendricks (who did half the songs), Abbey Lincoln, Bernie Hanighen, Sally Swisher and Mike Ferro did a beautiful job.
