Rodrigo’s Concierto Andaluz is a wonderful piece of Baroque influence and Andalusian warmth composed around four guitars and an orchestra.
In work and technology, too often systems go full Baroque: ornate, complex, impressive, but exhaust over accomplish. Layers get added without purpose and create noise over balance. Confusion grows when details multiply without meaning.
In this piece, Rodrigo proves the opposite: Complexity works when each contributes clarity. Structure lifts when elements align. A useful reminder in an age of tools, dashboards, and data: complexity can break process without purpose.

Post, post bonus, later in December in the gorgeous city of Valencia I discovered the Conservatori Superior de Música Joaquín Rodrigo de València – who knew?
