ÒSCAR ESPLÀ (1886-1976): Sonata del sur for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 52, Sonata Española for Piano, Op. 53 (May 25, 1965 - mono), JOAQUÍN RODRIGO (1901-1999): Danzas de España for Piano (original 1956 U.S. Decca LP release).

Description: Collectors of rare Spanish repertoire will be interested in this live (mono) recording of Esplà's 1943 concerto which mixes Iberian folk elements with a Stravinskian astringency of harmony (ditto for his sonata which, as you can see from its opus number, was his very next composition). Alícia de Larrocha (piano), Spanish National Orchestra;  Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos.
