The Corelli and Marais works are well known, but they stand out with greater interest against their earlier exemplars, Ortiz, Enzina, and Cabezón. Savall enthusiastically probes the Iberian background of these pieces, supplementing the “diferencias” by Antonio Martín y Coll with castenets, a questionably “authentic” touch but one that certainly adds to their implicit flamboyance. Percussion fits prominently and naturally into most of these energetic works to magnificent effect: for instance, the opening “Rodrigo Martinez” folia comes across as a rhythmic extravaganza. Here too, the subtle qualities of the SACD medium reveal some of the strengths of the scoring, as the rainbow of timbres simply flies from the speakers with unimpeded liveliness. But, as with most SACDs borne of high-resolution stock (in this case, a five-year-old 96 kHz/24-bit original master), the differences will be minimal to all but audiophiles with fabled golden ears.
