Another of those stimulating, engaging programmes in which Garrick Ohlsson specializes: this all-Falla recital combines works originally written for the piano with the composer's own transcriptions from his classic ballet and opera scores.
"This album is a must-buy for Falla fans and newbies alike. But, as with all exceptional recordings, it's about a confluence of talents, musical and technical. Indeed, Hyperion's Andrew Keener and David Hinitt have actually raised the bar with this one, no mean feat for a label that already has a well-deserved reputation for class-leading sonics. Distinguished pianism, a fine venue and a first-rate recording, in short, a perfect storm." MusicWeb Recording of the Month April 2018
"Ohlsson may not inhabit Manuel de Falla's sultry and exuberant piano-writing as Alicia de Larrocha or Javier Perianes do, yet he embraces the idiom with ease and fluidity, and leaves few small details unnoticed." Gramophone
"Is there more gladdening, life-enhancing piano music than that of those later 19th-century Spaniards Albeniz, Granados and Falla? Ohlsson's lovely, spirited accounts of a judicious selection from Falla's output for the instrument make for a seductive disc" The Sunday Times
