Valencia - 1926

This would be good at the right speed. I may try and capture it and render a faster edition. :) Thanks for posting.

Extraordinary music - so especial by Jose Padilla!

I love this version. Slower tempo than Whiteman, but every bit as good in it's own right.

It conjures up images and an antmosphere of another time.

Beautiful.

"Valencia" is a paso-doble (two step) written by spanish composer and musician Maestro Santiago Lope Gonzalo (1871-1909). I suppose that this melody has no lyrics, but I believe that the best playing is made by an Spanish band orchester and not by american Paul Whiteman Orchestra.

@limon276 Joseph LaCalle's Spanish Band did a recording of this for Columbia in 1926.

I'm sorry but I must comment on this one. I do believe that you are playing this one too slow. Try playing it at 80-82 rpm instead of around 70-76.

I agree this is playing too slow.
