AN-2517 Sketches of Spain

Description

To celebrate its fans, the Italian audiophile label AudioNautes is now offering a real treat: the definitive edition of the album “Sketches of Spain,” recorded between November 1959 and March 1960. … Sonically, this 1.5-LP edition (you may need to adjust the turntable’s VTA) is a true revelation in terms of dynamics and tonal richness. – Lothar Brandt, Stereoplay August 2026

Sonically, it clearly surpasses all versions I’ve heard so far, thanks to an extremely refined, detailed, and dynamic rendering. In the quieter passages, you can sense the ambience of the recording studio and feel the presence of the performers with all their energy. … This pursuit of perfection demonstrates just how far one can go. – Ilhami Düzgün, STEREO July 2026
