Album Notes & Community Reviews

Utilizing a massive, heavily subsidized European orchestra, the budget label delivers a sweeping, hyper-romanticized interpretation of Iberian melodies. The excessive string sections and dramatic castanet flourishes provide a cinematic, tourist-friendly fantasy of Spanish culture for the high-fidelity era.
