Obscure and Worthwhile

"This CD deserves a review. I bought it at a used CD shop because it looked unusual, and I found the liner notes interesting. I have many hundreds of CDs, but mostly well known classics. I frequently do try new things, and since I had never heard of either this composer or modern Spanish music, I tried it. I thoroughtly enjoyed it. I have some musical training, and listen a lot. This is well worth hearing, and I will listen to it often. It has a great sound, develops its themes well, but is quite modern in sound. I do not believe it will turn off those who cannot stand much of modern music with its discordant sound. Try it. I think you will like it. The LABERINTO is especially good, and very mood setting."
