CD Reviews

Terrific performances, distorted sound quality
Gontroppo | Bathurst, NSW Australia | 03/28/2002
(3 out of 5 stars)

"I recommend this CD, but be aware that loud passages are distorted.Alicia de Larrocha performs some well-known, and some lesser known works sensitively, but it is a great pity that loud passages are distorted throughout this recording.The very first track, Asturias, is one of Albeniz' best known works. There is quite a bit of hiss here. When you realise that it was recorded in 1959 [the year I began piano lessons], you understand why there is a bit of noise.But the distortion is intrusive and will spoil your enjoyment of the terrific performances.I love Cordoba, and the performance on this CD is sensitive and inspiring.I also have De Larrocha's Favourite Spanish Encores CD, recorded in 1975, which contains no distortion, and is highly and unreservedly recommended. But, if you want a recording of Albeniz, I also recommend this one, but with the qualifications I have given."
