I listen to this album probably more than any other. I haven't heard these two seminal spanish nationalistic piano works played by anyone else, so i can't comment too much on the actual playing, but the music is fantastic.
Both works are very difficult to play as they combine out and out virtuosity with many other difficult musical skills such as cross rythms and the bringing out of inner parts. Alicia de la rocha does this wonderfully well.
I think these works are underplayed in concerts, especially the granados, the opening piece in the set is infused with so many powerful melodies and is a joy to listen to, its a wonder more people don't play it.
Overall i would highly recommend this cd.

This Double Decca is one of my most prized possessions, containing inspiring performances of some truly unique music. The particular highlight is the Second Symphony, conducted by the composer himself with the Wiener Philharmoniker. It is an amazing account, full of insight into the composer's artistic vision. A true find for Khachaturian lovers (only a small band of us out there it seems!).

The Masquerade Suite, performed by the LSO and conducted by Stanley Black, remains a staple of the Khachaturian repertory. Black's outstandingly rich interpretation captures the full breadth of emotions in this music, and is well supported by sumptuous recording quality.

The two concertos are equally enticing. Ruggiero Ricci is ... Read More:

I'm not that thrilled with Bonell's interpretation of the Orange Juice - however iconic it may be. I've heard him play it live with the same reservations. It's all just a bit passionless, I'm afraid.

Listen to the version by Narcisco Yepes (ASIN: B000025K3I) before you buy this one - I think you'll be persuaded I'm right.

I have been looking for a recording of Manuel de Falla's Spanish Dance No. 1 for some time, so when I saw this recording advertised on the Amazon website, I snapped it up. I ordered it on the Thursday, it arrived on the Friday.

Curiously, it is described on the CD, simply as `dance' but no matter. When I first became interested in classical music, over 50 years ago, one of the first LPs I heard was by the Suisse Romande Orchestra conducted by Ernest Ansermet; I was impressed by his masterly control of the orchestra then, as I am now in this recording, which is an analogue to digital remaster.

The whole of de Falla's music - Nights in the Gardens of Spain, The Three-cornered hat and A Short Life - contained in this CD is swooningly ... Read More:
