Jan Akkerman and Claus Ogerman's 'Aranjuez' (1978) is defenitely among the most beautiful records in my collection. Claus Ogerman arrangemends for orchestra are moody, mysterious and stylish. He can easily switch between peacefull and darker atmospheres or between bombastic and fragile environments. All pieces are symphonic with a modern classical music feel with loads of interesting harmonies, making this interesting for progressive rock listeners. All tracks have slow, soulful pace

This is a reissue of a 1978 release by Dutch rock guitarist Jan Akkerman. The album mystified listeners at the time with its still-unusual combination of electric guitar and lush string arrangements, and it remains something of an oddity from a rock perspective. The orchestral writing by the underrated German arranger Claus Ogerman, however, is quite unusual, and the album has a following among Ogerman's fans. Indeed, although Akkerman gets top billing, the partnership is equal or even tilted a bit toward Ogerman

The best studio album by Jan Akkerman, Claus Ogerman is "Aranjuez. Claus's arrangements have that effect on the compositions of others. Claus does have one composition (Nightwings), on the album.

Written in 1939, the concerto is among one of the most recorded works in the neoclassical realm t a guitarist
