Our focus work today is Nights in the Gardens of Spain, Falla's fragrant depiction of three individual gardens lushly scored for piano and full orchestra. It's sensitively handled here by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and its soloist Alicia de Larrocha, whose "ability to evoke the colour of the Spanish atmosphere is remarkable" says Gramophone Classical Music Guide in a review of this Penguin award-winning disc. Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos supports Larrocha superbly while the London Philharmonic Orchestra provides a hot-blooded accompaniment.
