RECORDING INFORMATION
This is the second of two units devoted to the greatest Spanish pianist of the century and consists entirely of music of the 18th century, Bach, D. Scarlatti, Handel, Haydn and Mozart.

In this music, Alicia de Larrocha brings her unique rhythmic vitality and sparkling finger work to bear on music which, although written for instruments much older than the piano, benefits enormously from the variety of touch and colour afforded it by the piano.

Over 157 minutes of music on two CDs for the price of one.
