Alicia de Larrocha (1923 - 2009) performs the Allegro de Concierto by Enrique Granados. This performance originally was recorded by Hispavox circa 1963, then distributed in 1974 under the Musical Heritage Society label (MHS 1870). According to the notes on the reverse side of the LP slipcase: "The Allegro de Concierto won a prize in the contest convoked by Tomas Breton in 1904 while managing the Madrid conservatory. It fulfills its mission admirably: brilliance, difficulty, direct appeal, virtuosity, and a colorful nature."
