The Orchestra of the Americas & Carlos Miguel Prieto - de Falla - Presto Classical

Spain may be firmly off-limits in terms of holiday-destinations at the moment, but the Iberian sunshine certainly blazes brightly on this marvellously atmospheric second album from Prieto and his Mexican orchestra – everything really dances, textures are superbly balanced, and there’s particularly fine work from the punchy brass and raucous woodwinds as well as the airy mezzo Alejandra Gómez Ordaz in El sombrero de tres picos.
