Why Choose This Album?

Those repeated composers give the selection another point of interest. Kreisler’s three works are Liebesleid, Praeludium and Allegro, and Minuet. Sarasate’s pair consists of Introduction et Tarantelle, Op. 43, and Romanza Andaluza. Their works are part of the same 15-piece CD as the concerto.
Elsewhere, the program includes Ravel’s Pièce en forme de Habanera, Granados’s Spanish Dance, and Glazunov’s Grand Adagio. Schubert’s Die Biene, de Falla’s Danse Espagnole, and Stravinsky’s Chanson Russe add further named works.
