Side 1

Adagio, Allegro Moderato

Lovely opening movement, lots of bravado. 

Movement ends like a sportscar zooming into the garage

Andante

Listen for the bells about 2 minutes in.  

Has a very “Disney-like” feel for the bulk of the movement

Ends with an a la Scaffold Berlioz-esque

Andante, Allegro Moderato

Much anticipation in the introduction

The bells return in the Allegro Moderato

Once again, the sports car motive come back to end the piece

Side 2

Andante Largo, Fernando Sor

She plays this like how most people play Sor…dry and unimaginative

Preludio in G Minor, Renata Tarrago

Barcarolle feel, nice composition

Minuetto in D Major Op. 11 No. 5, Fernando Sor

Andante from Sonatina in A, Federico Moreno Torroba

Static performance, the studio slapback does not bode well

En Los Triagles, Joaquin Rodrigo

“In the wheatfields”
