Yan Pascal Tortelier has demonstrated again and again the he has a firm grasp of the romanticism of most European composers of both the 19th and 20th centuries. Albéniz's Iberia suite, originally a work for solo piano, is here transcribed for full orchestra by E. Fernandez Arbós, who was a close friend of the composer. Tortelier's shaping of this orchestration is a revelation. But if Albéniz was conservative by nature, Manuel de Falla, his younger contemporary, was not, and Tortelier really turns loose with Falla's Three-Cornered Hat suite in a full-bodied performance. --Paul Cook
