    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

    “In the wheatfields”
