Stereophile Magazine 'Record to Die For', May 1995.
This 3rd MA original 96 kHz High Sampling
digital recording, is a collection of Andalusian pieces performed by members
of the Paniagua family of Madrid, Spain. Andalusian music developed from the
mid-7th through the end of the 15th century in the southern area of Spain controlled
by Muslims who originally came from North Africa and as far away as Iraq. It
is very melodic, very rhythmic and very beautiful. Recorded in a centuries old
cathedral at La Monasterio de la Santa Espina, Valladolid, Spain.
