On a good hi-fi system, Sketches Of Spain should sound wide, atmospheric and deeply textured: Miles Davis’s trumpet placed with lonely focus, orchestral colours unfolding around it, brass and woodwinds with natural scale, and the recording’s Spanish-influenced drama filling the room with space and tension.
