Sylvia Schwartz (s), Malcolm Martineau (piano)
Hyperion CDA67954
As recommendable a single disc of Spanish song as there currently is. Schwartz shows a wonderful voice, warm responsiveness to the texts and perfectly idiomatic Spanish. The programme is well-chosen, showing variety of mood, style and soundworld: Guridi's Six Catalan Songs have never been done more vibrantly, more movingly on record. Martineau is, as ever, the perfect collaborator.
