Music reviews of De Falla: El Amor Brujo / 3 Cornered Hat / Nights in the Gardens of Spain

Music Review: Get it for the outstanding Entremont performance of Nights in the Gardens of Spain!
Rating: 5 Stars

This CD features Manuel de Falla's three most popular orchestral works: the El Amor Brujo suite, Nights in the Gardens of Spain, and dances from The Three-Cornered Hat. They all feature the incomparable Philadelphia Orchestra; Brujo is conducted by Leopold Stokowski, while Nights and Hat are conducted by Eugene Ormandy. All three performances are outstanding, although I find Stokowski's tempos to be a bit too idiosyncratic at times. It is still a very colorful and enjoyable performance with a particularly rousing and satisfying finale. Ormandy's three dances from Hat are done very well--exciting and colorful. The sound quality throughout the CD is quite good, although not up to par with modern digital standards.

The real reason to get this CD is the phenomenal performance of Nights by pianist Philippe Entremont. He and Ormandy capture the ebb and flow of this work--so difficult to properly bring off--like few others. This performance is in the same league as Alicia de Larrocha's classic recordings and probably better than Martha Argerich's celebrated performance. Entremont knows just when to give the music forward propulsion and when to let it carry itself. Both the lyrical and atmospheric elements as well as the exciting, ultra-Spanish climaxes are given maximum effect here. Entremont's partership with Ormandy and the PO has brought us many classic recordings (the piano concertos [plus Paganini Rhapsody] by Rachmaninov, Saint Saens, and Grieg) and this is one of the best. If you like this work (Nights), you must own Entremont's performance. (It is also available on a CD with music of Gershwin, Franck, and Faure, but the program is completely unrelated.)

This is the ultimate collection of Falla's major works, including one of the very best "Nights in the Gardens of Spain" ever. It is worth it just for that alone. At budget price, you'd be silly to miss this one.
