La Marchenera (Torroba)

Pilar Lorengar, Conchita Balparda, Carlos Munguía, Manuel Ausensi. Coro Cantores de Madrid, Orquesta Sinfónica, c. Federico Moreno Torroba
BMG Alhambra WD 75127

Torroba's early, swashbuckling romantic melodrama is well served in this 1972 recording. The CD transfer is on the coarse side, but Lorengar's "Tres horas antes del día" more than makes up for any technical deficiencies.
