- From the 12 piano pieces which Albéniz wrote towards the end of his life, his friend and colleague Enrique Arbos orchestrated 5 of the most popular, including El corpus en Sevilla (Corpus Christi Day in Seville), where the full resources of the orchestra are called upon to depict in music this popular festival day in Seville.

- Among the other highlights of this recording excerpts from Smetana's opera The Bartered Bride, culminating in the famous Dance of the Comedians.
