(Onyx) There’s addictive Latin rhythms and perfectly judged musical adrenaline in Domingo Hindoyan and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic’s recording of these six French works with a Spanish themeThere’s a certain reverence for a bygone era about Iberia, the latest album from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra under chief conductor Domingo Hindoyan. All six works here are familiar fare, the common thread being the late-19th and early 20th-century French enthusiasm for all things Spanish.
