Reviews :
« "Two famous early stereos of "Spanish" showpieces [Espana & Falla: Three Cornered Hat] get the deluxe two-disc, 45-rpm treatment from ORG. The performances are thrilling, and the pieces full of grand tunes, catchy dance rhythms, and rousing orchestral display. Comparison of the ORG reissues with the original Londons reveals the advantages of careful re-mastering and 45-rpm encoding on dead-quiet surfaces Improvements are more subtle in The Three Cornered Hat (here complete) because ths is such a fabulous recording to begin with. Orchestra, chorus, and soloist are spread out across a wide arc before the listener. ORG offers a tad more spaciousness and bloom, and details are sharper against the jet-black background of its superior vinyl." » Mark Lehman, The Absolute Sound, May/June 2011
« The soundscapes are huge -- wall to wall and as deep as your audio system will provide. Horns cascade, tympani is quick-paced and taut, and strings resound in mass while achieving adept delineation. Dynamics are massive yet scale up and down nimbly and smoothly. I have a dozen or so original Blue Backs, some recorded in the same venues as these titles, but none conveys the sense of the whole orchestra and the individual musicians as well as these LPs. In fact, I don't think I've ever heard an orchestra captured with greater expansiveness and focus. While one of these recordings is over 50 years old and the other is almost there, they both sound fresh, and the music is exhilarating, even for those who don't generally listen to orchestral recordings."
