This is one of the most sheerly beautiful Chandos recordings that I have heard in a long time. Chandos’ tried and tested team of Brian Pidgeon and Mike George producing with Stephen Rinker engineering have created a disc of extraordinary sonic beauty. They are helped in this no end by the orchestra’s virtuosic and sympathetic interpretation of Turina’s beautiful scores. The triumph of this disc is the subtlety of the detail that is achieved and credit for that must go to conductor Juanjo Mena…this new disc seems to be such an ideal meeting of technical, artistic and musical minds that any comparison seems foolish—on its own terms this disc is an outstanding success.

An early contender for one of my discs of the year and if this does not feature in other similar lists and awards I will be surprised. Simply magnificent and a must-hear for all those with a penchant for all things Spanish and ripely orchestrated. © MusicWeb International Read complete review
