Naxos publishes an album called
Sarasate - Spanish Dances - Serenata Andaluza - Balada. YourClassical is able to offer us,
free, one of the pieces from the album. That piece is
Pablo de Sarasate - Serenade andalouse. The
free offer is good through this weekend.
All of the pieces on the album feature Tianwa Yang on the violin and Markus Hadulla on the piano. No conductor is mentioned (none may be necessary since this is a duet).
Find out lots more about the entire album, the artists, and maybe a bit or two more about the
free piece, than I'll be giving here, by pointing your browser to
here. That is the dedicated Naxos webpage for the album.
Our
free piece is 6 minutes, 47 seconds long, and is formatted in MP3 as always is the case with these YourClassical giveaways. You can stream it at
this dedicated YourClassical webpage for the free piece. Alternately, or additionally, you may download the piece, again
freely, from
the same webpage by clicking on "Direct MP3 download link."
The piece is a good one. Having said that, it's not one that I think that I would listen to casually. It has lots of changes in speed, volume, etc. I can see it being an excellent piece to accompany a Spanish dance, as it apparently was written for, and I would enjoy seeing a Spanish dance group dance in accompaniment to the song. Oh, and it would be nice to have several plates of tapas at the table to munch on while I'm watching and listening. Yum.
