 | Ref: First Impression Music CFIM068 - XRCD24 CD This is real light music of the best kind.
Tuneful,
exotically scored by the conductor Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos, and
giving orchestra and recording engineers alike a chance to show their
paces, the Suite Española makes highly entertaining listening. We are given here seven pieces from Albeniz's original piano suite plus Cordoba, which is from the same composer's Cantos de Espana. As this has a very fetching tune to end the record graciously, no one is likely to complain. But try the opening Castile for its glittering castanets or the Asturias with its eloquent and sonorous brass chords to offset the flurry of strings. This is a demonstration disc par excellence. | | |
