This collection includes Ernesto Lecuona's complete 1954 recordings plus a series of 78s made in 1927-28. Ten of the recordings were previously unreleased. This is a lot of lightweight Cuban piano music to deal with at once, but it's definitely worth doing. Lecuona's music, which is having a major revival, may not be important. But it's consistently charming and entertaining. The 78s, which sound surprisingly good, reveal even more of a virtuoso than do the later recordings, but throughout we hear playing that expresses the spirit of the music extremely well. And yes, the famous Malagueña is here, sounding very sexy. --Leslie Gerber

Summary: Lecuona's piano masterpiece
Comment: These CDs were hard to find. The first CD is lively and contains the most popular and well known compositions. The second CD, starts a bit slow and somewhat repetitive but after the middle, it gets better. The quality of the recording is not great but not too bad given that they were played by Lecuona himself. This collection is a MUST for classical and popular piano music lovers.

Summary: So thankful to have this set!
Comment: For years I've been trying to locate this mythical album and finally was able to do so here! Thanks, amazon.com! Lecuona's music is for me the epitome of romantic Latin music--one of my favourite composers of all time. Don't expect bells and whistles from this album; it's simply Lecuona playing his own compositions solo on an unamplified piano. Pure heaven!

Summary: Marvelous!
Comment: I was fortunate to grow up with Lecuona's music, even played some of it on the piano -- this is a marvelous collection. Enjoy!

Summary: Lecuona Plays Lecuona
Comment: Oh Boy! What can I tell you about this magnificent collection of musical jewels from our Maestro Lecuona. I bought the original Long Playing Record back in the 50's in my country.
I purchased it again shortly after my arrival to the US, and I was lucky enough to buy it on DVD from Amazon, once I found out they had it.

Summary: Lecuona the Cuban pianist is Great!
Comment: In my opinion this is one of the best CD's from Lacuona, Most of his piano compositions are recorded here (original ones), What, Ms. Leslie Gerber forgot to mention is that Mr.Lecuona was a band leader,"Lecuona and the Cuban Boys", remembers him? Or maybe she does not have sufficient information about him. The music from Lecuona still is very well alive today. I came across his recordings on my own, no one ever told me about this great pianist. I happened to hear the Malaguena by another great Cuban composer and band leader Perez Prado (The Real Mambo King) in one of his albums and Lecuona was the author. That got me interested in him. I'm pretty sure that Ms.Leslie Gerber did a good job on Lecuona review.
