Nothing could be more appropriate in celebrating Victoria de los Angeles's 75th birthday than this extensive conspectus of her recordings of Spanish song over 40 years. It's hardly possible in a brief review to do justice to such an astonishing achievement on the part of the Spanish soprano; indeed had she sung nothing else her place in recorded history would be assured.
