Rodrigo at 90 is an intimate portrait of Spain's, and perhaps
the world's, best known living composer of classical music.
Joaquin Rodrigo's compositions are considered among this
century's best loved works. At the age of ninety, he has
lived a life filled with as much tragedy as joy, and his
belief in demons rivals his belief in God - but his art has
maintained an outlook which is as sunny as the land from which
it comes.
