Indeed, I got it shortly after released based on that review. It's pretty much exactly as it says -- a very enjoyable disc, and IIRC it's only about $10, which makes it all the better. 10 might be pushing it on the sound though, but it's been a while since I listened to it.

I had the LP when it first came out back in the 1970s with the Surinach/Montsalvatge concertos. I am and have always been a huge fan of Alicia de Larrocha. The Montsalvatge is a delightful piece, the Surinach somewhat harsher and thornier. For the price mentioned, it sounds like a deal!

I second (third?) the motion.  I do not have that disc, but individual recordings of the works thereon.  And agree with the comments about the Montsalvatge and the Surinach.  Turina is a can't-miss for me, and his Rapsodia is a lovely work.  This CD has to be a sure-fire winner.
