How does one fit those speaks on a bookshelf?
Alicia de Larrocha playing the piano music of Manuel de Falla. 1975 London ffrr. She is just marvelous, especially on Spanish music and de Falla is well worth seeking out if you don't know him. Before this I was playing "A Connoisser Society Recording" of Manitas de Plata (Silver Hands) a sobriquet given to flamenco guitarist extraordinaire Ricardo Ballardo. He is a Spaniard of Gypsy origins and one of the monsters of the instrument - you must hear it to believe it. I guess it is a Spanish night - who would have guessed.

Are the last two considered classical music? Anyway, been enjoying a disc of very interesting early 20th century Russian piano music by Alexei Stanchinsky. To quote the blurb on the insert (which might be a little over the top): "Declared incurably insane by the age of twenty, and dead, perhaps by his own hand, six years later, Stanchinsky is a lost genius in Russian music, writing in a late Romantic style that may suggest Scriabin, by turns epic, nervy, voluptuous, abrasive, bleak, visionary, sombre and cynical."
