This review is from: Favourite Spanish Encores (Audio CD)

This is a wonderful CD! De Larrocha delivers some great performances of many well-known Spanish favourites, some of which you may recognise more by the sound than the title.

The solo piano pieces include Albeniz' Sevilla:sevillanas, which I am sure you will recognise, his Tango and a popular Malagueña.

Granados' Spanish Dance No 5 [sometimes known by other titles] is sensitively performed.

Albeniz' grandfather, Mateo's D major Sonata is the opening track. This music will be recognised by Australian music lovers as the theme music for Margaret Throsby's wonderful music and interview program.

The Montsalvatge Brief Concerto is a most exciting feature of the recording.

Highly recommended. Stunning sound quality.
