I thought I had Albinoni Op 2, but I only had Op 2 sinfonie, not the Op 2 concerti. Supplemented my recording by Ensemble 415 with a release that contains the complete Op 2.

There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind. - Duke Ellington

You must have a very good opinion of yourself to write a symphony - John Ireland.

Hat tip to Christo, he constantly showcasing this recording and telling how wonderful it is, I finally succumbed, and put it on my order list. And he is right by the way, Boyle's music is indeed wonderful.

I have one of those Mintz Vivaldi MHS CDs, although I think a different group of concertos. It's nice in an I Musici sort of way.

I'll have to see if I can find some piano samples from that one.

Some Spanish (or Spanish-related) stuff, from specialised dealers in used CDs in Madrid's Rastro —the flea market held on Sundays— and in El Escorial:


José Cubiles enjoys an almost legendary status (at least locally) among Spanish pianists, but his recorded legacy is very scant. This CD, released by Spanish National Radio and Television, uses 1960 studio recordings —previously released on LP by RCA—. Only four numbers of Iberia are included —fortunately Almería is among them—, the rest of the CD being "minor" pieces from other collections by Albéniz.


Curious arrangements with cello octet accompaniment of some great Spanish songs (tonadillas by Granados —including the extraordinarily moving El majo olvidado—, Guridi's Six Castilian Songs), recorded by Teresa Berganza towards the end of her illustrious career, with the Cello Octet Conjunto Ibérico under Elías Arizcuren. The CD also has a purely instrumental (eight cellos) version of Falla's Love the Magician —the point of which I fail to grasp—.


My umpteenth recording of Master Peter's Puppet Show, with Carlos Álvarez under José Ramón Encinar. We also get Ibert's and Ravel's Don Quixote song cycles, and a purely orchestral piece by Guridi on the same character.


Music for string quartet and Las musas de Andalucía (for various instrumental combinations —with or without solo vocals—) by Joaquín Turina.

And from Amazon.es:


I was aware of Pablo Casal's Catalan-language Christmas oratorio El Pessebre (and of its 1972 recording from Puerto Rico under the composer) since my childhood, but had never gotten around to buy it until now (I didn't even know it had been transferred to CD).
