Party-piece disc of the year features spectacular versions of mostly orchestral pieces. Chabrier’s Espana achieves the impossible, though flair, quick thinking and a feel for colour are everywhere. The title number, part satire, cleverly deconstructs the opera and other composers’ Spanish fantasies. Robert Maycock
