**   This title "Love the Magician" is a bad translation of "El Amor Brujo" - the original intent being "The Sourcer's Love" or "The Sourcer's Girlfriend" - a title that actually matches the action, an operation of Gypsy magic. Also matching the action is not a fancy opera soprano, but Ginesa Ortega, an authentic Flamenco cantaora of Gypsy ethnicity. The orchestra too - not a fancy Philharmonic, but a Spanish theater orchestra that can play this stuff in their sleep.

***   Habanera (4.2 min), Playera (4.4 min), Spanish Dance (5.1 min), Malagueña (4.6 min), Caprice Basque (6.1 min), Romanza Andaluza (4.8 min), Zapateado (3.3 min)
