Joaquín Rodrigo byl významný španělský skladatel a klavírní virtuos, který se narodil 22. listopadu 1901 ve městě Sagunto ve Valencii. Přestože Rodrigo ve třech letech oslepl v důsledku záškrtu, věnoval se hudbě s pozoruhodným úspěchem. Nejznámější jsou jeho skladby pro kytaru a orchestr, zejména Concierto de Aranjuez, které se stalo jednou z nejznámějších skladeb klasického kytarového repertoáru. Tento koncert byl inspirován zahradami v Palacio Real de Aranjuez a měl premiéru v roce 1940. Nádherně se v něm mísí tradiční prvky španělské lidové hudby s klasickou strukturou.
