Title: Nobody can play Lecuona like Lecuona
Review: To my knowledge, no other pianist, Cuban or otherwise, has tried to do a remake of Lecuona's own piano solo recordings. I can't blame them, for with incredibly large hands applied to playing his own compositions, Lecuona had an unmatched advantage.Frank Emilio Flynn's effort was noble, and he earns an E for effort, but get the original Lecuona recordings from the 1950's and hear those. One good thing that Emilio's recording does is to keep alive the piano music that was written and performed by Cuba's best classical composer of mid 20th century, forgotten even by classical pianists today, Ernesto Lecuona.
