The Three-Cornered Hat (album)

[1] Apart from minor differences in lettering, the covers of the American and British LP, cassette and CD versions of the album are all the same, and were designed and illustrated by Chris Verschoor.

[1][2][3] Edward Greenfield reviewed the album on LP in Gramophone in April 1983, comparing it with previous recordings of The Three-Cornered Hat conducted by Ernest Ansermet,[4] Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos[5] and Eduardo Mata.

On this occasion, he compared it with a new Decca release of The Three-Cornered Hat performed by Huguette Tourangeau and the Montreal Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Charles Dutoit.

[8] Once again he relished the way in which "Previn's crisp and rhythmic account of the Falla ballet [brought out its] Stravinskian associations", but he felt that the sound of the newer recording was preferable to the "closeness and dryness" of the old.

[3] In 1984, Philips issued the album on CD (catalogue number 411 046-2) with a 12-page insert booklet lacking texts or translations but providing notes by Gerald Norris in English, French and German.
