Music reviews of Spain [Hybrid SACD]

Music Review: Vintage Reiner in outstanding sound
Rating: 5 Stars

While the accompanying re-release of Richard Strauss' "Don Quixote" and "Don Juan" with the same forces sadly betrays its age, this CD remains one of the true classic Fritz Reiner discs, sounding as fresh as if it was recorded last week.

Fritz Reiner's account of De Falla's ballet "El amor brujo" with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Leontyne Price remains one of the finest ever put on disc. The vivacity, the attack and rhythm, the sense of atmosphere and colour, the extreme emotions found in this music are rendered here with superb mastery. The virtuosity and precision of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1963 is downright stunning, while Leontyne Price's gripping dark-throated vocal contribution is for not being idiomatically authentic still totally apt.
The only regret one might have is that De Falla's magnificent "The Three-Cornered Hat" isn't complete. The three fragments, recorded in 1958, including the irresistibly lilting final dance, boast the same qualities as found in "El amor brujo". Two excerpts from De Falla's opera "La Vida breve", the interlude and the well-known dance, are also played with great zest and understanding.

The remainder of the programme from 1958 consists of orchestral transcriptions of three piano pieces from Isaac Albeniz' "Iberia", done with immense flair by Enrique Arbós. Here too the playing of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is second to none, with Reiner again evoking all the unbridled Latin passion of the "Fête-Dieu à Seville" and "Navarra". The Intermezzo from Enrique Granados' "Goyescas" is offered as a final bonus.

The three-channel SACD format is breathtaking by its clarity, presence and bloom. The orchestral balance and colour is rendered here to perfection (just listen to the build-up in the final dance from "The Three-Cornered Hat" with its powerful bass drum, sparkling percussion and colourful brass).

A magnificent disc.
