5.0 out of 5 stars The Sounds of Spain, June 5, 2001

This review is from: Spanish Spectacular (Audio CD)

"Spanish Spectacular" is indeed a spectacular overview of musical impressions of the special sounds of Spanish music. The selection of pieces presents classics by both Spanish composers and by composers of other nationalities who were entranced by Spanish music. One interesting aspect of this CD is to compare similarities and differences between how non-Spaniards (Rimsky-Korsakov and Ravel) and Spanish composers (de Falla, Albeniz, and Granados) approach the evocation of Spanish music. The London Symphony Orchestra does an excellent job of capturing the Spanish flavor and rhythms. If you want to be transported to Spain by listening to music, just put on this CD, relax, and for an hour let your imagination take you there.
