Music reviews of Manuel de Falla: Nights in the Gardens of Spain / Isaac Albeniz: Rapsodia Espanola / Joaquin Turina: Rapsodia Sinfonica - Alicia de Larrocha / London Philharmonic Orchestra / Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos
Music Review: de Larrocha is peerless in these works.
Rating: 5 Stars
This album is dedicated to major Spanish composers' works for the pianoforte and orchestra: Falla, Albeniz and Turina.
Ms. Larrocha's piano sound is exceedingly majestic and expressive. The characterisations are just right, with a full-fledged Iberian atmosphere. There is passin and prowess, on top of searing pianistic nuances throughout the performances. You would not guess that this is a lady pianist.
One would like to compare Larrocha with her South American colleague Martha Argerich. Argerich does not display the same temperament as Alicia de Larrocha in many respects: Argerich is more inflammatory and less refined, as the different nationality of them depicts the different innate temperaments. The Spanish tend to be more refined and sophisticated on top of a passionate Iberian nature, while Argentinians are outright more volatile.
And it is exactly this feat of de Larrocha that imhv gained ascendance over Argerich - the more refined passion.
Methinks this performance would most unlikely be surpassed in the near future.
