This double LP set has resided on The Absolute Sound's 'Super Disc' list since dinosaurs ruled
It has an incredible variety of music and instruments from a 200-year period
There are no voices
The sound is very clean, transparent, complex and extended in the highs
The harmonic richness and decay within the hall is outstanding
The soundstage is very deep, but it is not unusually wide
The disc is simply ravishing
It's a classic analogue recording from 1980, lovingly produced, engineered and edited by Robert von Bahr using a Revox A77 and two - presumably spaced — simple Sennheiser MKH105 omni condenser mikes (vintage early '60's design); it amply shows the merits of a simple signal path, combined with minimal intervention and post-processing
The recording immediately astonishes with its fluid, natural and utterly truthful sound, And the acoustic of the Chapel of the Imperial College, Madrid is just beautiful
The music, all 80 minutes of it, features variations on three archetypal Spanish themes (La Spagna, a Spagnoletta and Pavane), as interpreted by different composers such as Praetorius, Farnaby, Negri, Josquin Desprez, Ortiz and others
Aided by impeccable playing and 'realisation' of the basic themes, the end result is lively, fun and eclectic
This is the very first audiophile version of this disc
