5.0 out of 5 stars Soothing Mood Music from Spain, January 24, 2007

By 

Music Lover (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sarasate: Spanish Dances; Caprice Basque; Zigeunerweisen (Audio CD)

The excellent Hungarian performers heard on this recording were probably attracted to Sarasate's music originally because of his famous arrangements of gypsy melodies. Most of the album, however, is devoted to music based on Spanish folk styles and the results are enchanting. I played the album for some friends who visit Spain frequently, and they were simply delighted with the music. This CD offers perfect mood music for anyone, but those with an interest in Spanish culture will find it particularly rewarding. These Hungarians certainly seem to have a wonderful feel for Spanish music.
