    5 out of 5 stars Delightful Spanish Dances.......2005-11-06

    I had been listening to some very different types of music when a friend offered to lend me this CD of Enrique Granados' (1867 -- 1916) "Twelve Spanish Dances" performed by Spanish pianist Rosa Torres-Pardo. The CD was a welcome change of pace from my more usual and more solemn listening. I have heard these dances before in concert but not on CD, and I greatly enjoyed having the opportunity to spend time with them. Rosa Torres-Pardo was entirely new to me. She plays these works with elan and high spirit. This is a budget CD and a fine choice for those wanting to get to know Granados.

    Granados' music straddles the late 19th -- early 20th century, with the Spanish Dances dating from 1889 when the composer was 22. They are arranged in four books of three dances each. The Dances are frequently arranged for the guitar and other instruments, but it is good to hear them on the piano, the instrument for which they were composed.

    This music reminded me of the sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti, with its guitar-like strumming, echoes of castanets, strong and varied rhythms, and lightness. The music also reminded me of the dance sets of Brahms and Dvorak, written at almost the same time as these pieces, and sharing their popular appeal and nationalistic celebrations. Yet, these pieces by Granados are a delight in themselves, and shouldn't be analyzed as much as savored and enjoyed.

    The pieces are written in different dance forms. Some of the dances took me away to long, hot romantic evenings while others are flamboyant and lively. The first set of three dances includes two flashy outer pieces, "Minueto" and "Fandango" surrounding a much more plaintive haunting middle dance, "Oriental". The second set includes the most famous of these dances, "Andaluza", a strongly rhythmical piece, together with a flowing, pastoral work "Villanesca" and a brief finale "Rondalla Aragonesca", which gradually increases in intensity and includes a song in its middle section. The third book of dances begins with a bouncy "Valenciana" followed by a work with alow singing theme in the treble and strumming rhythms, "Sardana". The concluding "Mazurca" is a flamboyant showpiece. The final book of dances opens with a famous "Dance Triste" . The second dance, "Zambra", the longest of the collection is a snappy, rhythmical piece, and the final light "Arabesque" reminded me of Spain's Moorish heritage and of Robert Schumann's piano work of the same name. The CD closes with a shimmering, impressionistic piece, "Estudio" published after Granados' death.

    Listening to these dances brought home to me again the variety there is in music and how much joy there is to be gained by exploring. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to hear the Spanish Dances in depth and to try to communicate something of the music to those who might like to hear it.

    5 out of 5 stars An album to live with.......2004-10-18

    Excellent sound, expressive playing, and music much of which has entered the standard repertoire - and even when it hasn't and you are hearing something new, these are novel and compelling compositions. You can't lose with this one.

    5 out of 5 stars Convincing interpretations of great music.......2002-09-15

    Many people know one or more of Granados' Spanish Dances. They sound terrific on the guitar: you would think that they had been composed for it. But Torres-Pardo's performances should show that they are firstly piano pieces.

    You will probably recognise several of the dances, especially the fifth and sixth. But each one has its own distinctive character, and they sound wonderful when they are heard as a set.

    This bargain-priced CD has first-rate renditions of the dances, and is unreservedly recommended.

              3 out of 5 stars A better title would be "The softer side of brass".......2001-03-15

              There is much more "soft" (e.g. melancholic, romantic, whimsical) brass here than just romantic brass. I purchased this after an exhaustive search for CD with a rendition of Rodrigo's Concierto Con Aranjuez featuring a solo trumpet which was NOT surrounded a bunch of loud, Sousa-like brass pieces. The Rodrigo piece is good, but overall I prefer the rendition on the Brassed Off! soundtrack. The performances are adept and often inspired but the solo trumpet is often more technical than emotionaly fulfilling. In general this album is a bit schizophrenic. Several pieces (e.g. Albeniz' "Sevilla", Ravel's "Vasles nobles et sentimetnales"),are highly spirited and only "romantic" by the farthest stretch of the imagination but a few (e.g. Falla's " Miller's Dance") are restrained in their exubernace and the majority are quite soothing and worthwhile. I am particularly fond of Debussy's "Des Pas sur la Neige" and Granados "Oriental from Danzas Espanoles".
