Intrigued by today's Record Review playlist that mentions a track from a harpsichord concerto by Stravinsky (sic) I investigated and discovered this forthcoming release, which looks very attractive to me (and it has a nice cover):
https://www.prestomusic.com/classica...chord-concerto- Falla: Concerto for Harpsichord & Chamber Ensemble
- Falla: El retablo de Maese Pedro
- Stravinsky: Pulcinella Suite

It was reviewed on R3 last Saturday morning and the extracts played sounded very good. Jeremy Sams questioned the wisdom of using (for the first time in a recording, I think he said) a boy soprano in the chamber opera, however, on the basis that it didn’t sound very nice…
Let's have one as Ravel's L'enfant too.
Streaming this now; somewhat mixed reaction but very much enjoying on the whole.
Great coupling of pieces.
PS: Pulcinella suite a disappointment (though some interesting spiky playing). Not one for me to live with, I'm sad to say, as I had high hopes.Last edited by Pulcinella; 23-02-24, 15:11.
