El señor Joaquín (Caballero)

Alborada y balada "Noche pura y serena"
Montserrat Caballé. Orquesta Sinfónica de Barcelona, Eugenio M. Marco
Decca SXL-R 6792 [LP, nla]

Preludio
Gran Orquesta Sinfónica, c. Ataulfo Argenta
London TW 91001 [LP, nla]

Caballero's once-popular sainete has not been fortunate on CD, and is currently unrepresented in the catalogue. There must be hope that Caballe's second LP of Zarzuela romances, made for Decca and including this superb example of her art, will be transferred in its entirety to CD. The Argenta Preludes and Intermezzos LP for Columbia is similarly more likely than most to make a reappearance in some form.
