Music reviews of Castles in Spain
Music Review: A Classic Legrand album finally on cd, sure it's an import, but buy it anyway!
Rating: 5 Stars
I have this album in my LP collection courtesey of my father. He always said it was his all time favorite Legrand album. Legrand has MANY good albums, but this one is truly one of his best. It's unfortunate that Columbia still hadn't switched over to stereo yet. It was recorded in 1956. RCA was already recording in stereo by 1954, why not Columbia? This album really would have benefited from this. But it's still enjoyable. When I purchased this cd, I was worried that since it's not an official US release, that the sound quality would be bad. But I was surprised that it sounded good. Much better than my worn out original pressing. The album captures the full flavor and spirit of Spain, complete with sounds of matadors and other Spanish activities. But without question, the absolute highlight of this album is the magnificent arrangement of "Jungle Drums". If you have heard the ones by Morton Gould, Stanley Black (both versions), Artie Shaw and the rest, forget about them. This is the GREATEST arrangement EVER. I dare ANY arranger to even come close to the sheer genius that Legrand cooked up for this gem. It begins with trumpets in an echo style call and response, then as they fade string enter and glide to an oboe solo. Then the brass re-enter and attack in recapitulation before the strings introduce the main melody over the muted harmonies of the trumpets. Sheer genius. Absolutely NOTHING will do for this song other than Legrand. Makes Black and Gould sound tame by comparison. Sure those guys have stereo sound, but their arrangementa fall short. Buy this cd for this recording alone. It's worth it!
