What's Best?

Since you refer to Manuel de Falla El Amor Brujo I can not resist posting my favorite interpretation by Orquestra de Cambra Teatre Lliure de Barcelona / Josep Pons - less elegant than the version you quote, but full of rhythm and drama.

The second piece of the CD - El Retablo de Maese Pedro, although less known is also a masterpiece.

Have you heard Argenta doing Master Peter's Puppet Show on Decca?

No, I only have the version I referred to. But I will look for it. Thanks!

It was a gift from a British audiobuddy many years back. The title reads " Worlds Worst Record." And there are some other good lines on the cover and I can't even begin to describe the color of the vinyl. Seriously. Maybe will take a jpeg of the vinyl and post it when back from vacation

Do. No one is better at Spanish music than Argenta. As my Spanish friend says, it's in their blood

It's sad he met his demise at such a young age

Well,
I am going to lower the level and say I have thoroughly been enjoying Petshop Boys PopArt
Good for background music when one is busy, I find it difficult to use classical as background only music as it tends to make me concentrate on it - thats my excuse anyway
Well mastered for a pop album and a collection of various hits from differing Petshop Boys albums.

Cheers
