"this...will give much pleasure...de Burgos brings an idiomatic Iberian flavour...and the Southern French taste of the oother music is no less well conveyed. It's extraordinary that neither Carmen nor the incidental music to Daudet's play L'Arlésienne met with a good initial reception, since they are so strikingly attractive. Today everyone responds to a colour and charm that are fully in evidence when the music is played as it is here, with the London Symphony Orchestra under a Spanish-born conductor exercising an effortless skill, notably the wind and percussion sections (the flautist is Paul Davies)" Gramophone
