The Familiar And The Slight

I'm into a section of the BBC Music mag cover disk shelf that has a run of duplicate repertoire, so not much to say about them other than to register their existence in my collection. This one has Rodrigo's Concierto De Aranjuez, the commercial recording of which hasn't yet found its' way off the shelf although we have had Miles and Gil Evans. Also included here is Suite No 1 from De Falla's The Three Cornered Hat, which predictably is also the coupling on my commercial Aranjuez recording. There are two other works on this disk that I don't have elsewhere, Dances From Don Quixote by Roberto Gerhard and Three Spanish Dances by Granados ( orch De Grignon ). Both are pretty slight offerings if truth be told. The performers on the disk are the Ulster Orchestra, conducted by Josep Caballe-Domenech in the Gerhard, De Falla and Granados works and by Adrian Leaper in the Rodrigo where the soloist is Eduardo Fernandez.
