Victoria de Los Angeles has been singing for five decades now, and although she no longer has the top notes, her voice is still in remarkable condition if this recording from the early '90s is anything to go by. Of course, she knows these songs better than any other human being alive, and sings them with gut-busting conviction--they're mostly about the torture of lost love, or some similarly painful experience. The edition used in this recording is an orchestration by the composer's friend and colleague Ernesto Halffter, and it adds a welcome burst of color and variety to the otherwise monochrome original accompaniments for piano solo. --David Hurwitz --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
