Adam Kent has captured the beautiful piano music of the Twentieth Century Spanish composer, Ernesto Haffler. Kent plays with a warm, smart and delicate tone that makes one think why he is not more known. His style of playing is emotional without being over-so and one is reminded of Horowitz in some of the difficult passages. I highly recommend this album to anyone who appreciates modern and romantic Spanish music.

Adam Kent is my piano teacher, but that's not why I'm reviewing this CD. I bought this CD just because my teacher was the soloist. But now that I listened to it many times, I have fallen in love with the CD and Adam Kent's warm and sensitive tone. Spanish composer Ernesto Halffter is not very known, although after listening to this CD I can't understand why he isn't. The opening piece is a Sonatina which Kent plays in a joyful and uplifting mannor. I'm not going to get into great details but this CD is truly extraordinary! I can't stop listening to it. I love it and it's at a bargain price! Don't miss this SUPERB Spanish Collection! Go get it.

Sound is Perfect!
