"The recording is brightly lit in the transatlantic manner and with a resonant acoustic the effect is spectacular in a garish sort of way. La valse is high powered with a mannered ending, but I enjoyed the rather sultry performance of the Rapsodie espagnole, while the Alborada is certainly brilliant." Gramofile
