La Folia De La Spagna / Gregorio Paniagua, Atrium
Label: harmonia mundi Catalog: 1951050 Format: CD Atrium Musicae de Madrid; Gregorio Paniagua, conductorINCLUDES THE 2006 CD CATALOGUE. “A folia is apparently some sort of mad dance, a perfect description of this recording. On the surface it’s a sprightly work for a small period-instrument group. Initially, all very refined and courtly - but punctuated throughout in a fashion that honours the tradition of P.D.Q. Bach and Spike Jones. I won’t say more; it would spoil the fun. The performance is excellent - but then there’s nothing with which to compare it.” - Stereophile Price: $9.98 |
