Composer Joaquín Rodrigo’s music is a homage to the rich and varied cultures of Spain. His unique creations draw from influences that range from the ancient Roman conquerors of Iberia to modern Spanish poets and writers. Since 1933, the blind composer has been assisted and inspired by his talented wife, pianist Victoria Kamhi, his most important collaborator and his life’s partner. ‘Hand in Hand with Joaquín Rodrigo’ is the story of a loving marriage and a professional struggle that led to international acclaim. After the years of exile and depravation during the Spanish Civil War and World War II, Rodrigo’s work began to gain attention and praise from the musical world. Active as a critic and academic, Rodrigo has also received commissions from some of the most distinguished soloists of our era.

D'Addario Flat Tops are round wound, then precision ground, leaving the outer surface smooth and "semi-flat." This produces a smooth, flattened playing surface, but does not sacrifice the warm tone and sustain associated with phosphor bronze strings. Flat Tops are excellent for recording and greatly reduce finger noise.
