Released on January 1, 2009, under the prestigious Deutsche Grammophon label, this album is a testament to the orchestra's virtuosity and the timeless appeal of these renowned composers.
The album opens with Manuel de Falla's "El amor brujo," a suite that transports you to the heart of Andalusia with its evocative melodies and rhythmic intensity. The Los Angeles Philharmonic masterfully brings to life the passion and mystique of this Spanish masterpiece.
Following Falla's work, the orchestra delves into Claude Debussy's "La Mer," a symphonic poem that paints a vivid portrait of the sea. The three movements, "From Dawn till Noon on the Sea," "Play of the Waves," and "Dialogue of the Wind and the Sea," showcase the orchestra's ability to convey the vast and ever-changing moods of the ocean.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic's interpretation is nothing short of magical, capturing the whimsy and charm of these beloved stories. From the "Prélude" to the "Apothéose: Le Jardin féerique," each movement is a delightful journey through a world of enchantment and wonder.
