[edit] Artists influenced by Rodrigo/Cover tunes
The article should mention the names of popular artists who have covered and interpreted Rodrigo's work. From the Miles Davis page: [Bill] Evans arranged a version of Joaquin Rodrigo's "Concerto de Aranjuez" for Davis. Married to four other pieces, Rodrigo's work provided the centrepiece of Sketches Of Spain (1960).--Thomas Veil 05:50, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Wrong Title / Proposed Move
This article has a mistake in the title. It's Joaquín Rodrigo, not Joaquin. Maybe someone with more Wikipedia knowledge can move this to the right place and insert a redirect? That's the way the German Wikipedia handles it. Update: Just saw the English Wikipedia does it the other way round: Joaquín Rodrigo is a redirect. But still, the German Wikipedia's way makes more sense to me. It looks strange when the spelling in the article differs from the spelling in its title. 141.20.103.68 - 22:43, 26 November 2004
- RE: Move
I thought that this topic has been discused on other topics? I also thought that I read that the English verison of Wikipedia has trouble with different characters in titles? You can put them in the body of the article, but not the name of the file, it has to do with file-names and computers, etc. You will have to ask someone who knows and/or check the help section.
Here is an example of what happens to the accented "í":
- The page was entered: Reykjavík
- The link was: Reykjav%EDk
- The link keeps changing, the lastest is: Reykjav%C3%ADk
More examples:
- was Egilsstaðir, then Egilssta%F0ir, now Egilssta%C3%B0ir
- was Grímsey, then Gr%EDmsey, now Gr%C3%ADmsey
- was Hafnarfjörður, then Hafnarfj%F6r%F0ur, now Hafnarfj%C3%B6r%C3%B0ur
- was Kópavogur, then K%F3pavogur, now K%C3%B3pavogur
- was Keflavík, then Keflav%EDk, now Keflav%C3%ADk

This article has been renamed after the result of a move request. violet/riga (t) 13:48, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Ghost in the Shell 2
Am I right that Joaquín Rodrigo wrote the music for the closing theme of "Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence" - "Follow Me"?
The second movement of 'Concerto de Aranjuez' according to [1].
Anyway, just saw his name in the closing credits, and thought I'd Wikipedia it in order to find out more about the music, but as it was missing, ;)
Enjoy this tidbit of info.
PS.
I'm not a wikipedia regular, so I'll just stick it in the talk page, and someone with more know-how can put it in the article if they want.
[edit] Rodrigo and the Franco Regime
Anyone wish to comment on this topic? I know little about it, but the sleeve notes of my CBS John Williams album of the Concerto de Arnajuez from 1984 hints that '...the Spanish nationalism of his compatriot Manual de Falla remains a strong influence on Rodrigo's music...'. Perhaps the holding of high academic office Madrid from the 1950s only adds to the overall impression of closeness to a sometimes murderous regime.
Always better to confront rumours rather than pretend they don't exist... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.153.4.106 (talk) 10:14, 21 March 2007 (UTC).
