The Guardian awards 3 stars for this recording of Albeniz's opera. not so much Opera Rara as Opera Obscura.
It's generally frothy stuff, in a kind of Spanish verismo style, even if the tunes are never that memorable. It's beautifully performed under Jose de Eusebio, with Carol Vaness as the widow Pepita and Placido Domingo rolling back the years as her ardent young lover Luis.
