Torroba Concierto de Castilla Side 1
Selected Solo Works Side 2
Side 1
Adagio, Allegro Moderato
Lovely opening movement, lots of bravado.
Movement ends like a sportscar zooming into the garage
Andante
Listen for the bells about 2 minutes in.
Has a very “Disney-like” feel for the bulk of the movement
Ends with an a la Scaffold Berlioz-esque
Andante, Allegro Moderato
Much anticipation in the introduction
The bells return in the Allegro Moderato
Once again, the sports car motive come back to end the piece
Side 2
Andante Largo, Fernando Sor
She plays this like how most people play Sor…dry and unimaginative
Preludio in G Minor, Renata Tarrago
Barcarolle feel, nice composition
Minuetto in D Major Op. 11 No. 5, Fernando Sor
Andante from Sonatina in A, Federico Moreno Torroba
Static performance, the studio slapback does not bode well
En Los Triagles, Joaquin Rodrigo
