I discovered Lalo some months ago when the Durban Philharmonic performed
his symphony.

Then, through this wonderfully informative site:

   http://www.piano-concertos.org

I discovered that he had also written a piano concerto.

Through Amazon I ordered a second-hand CD which arrived today.  Guys,
this piano concerto is beautiful!  Exciting, strong on melody, rhythmic.
I have got it on Digital Classic, CD 352, with the Stuttgarter Philharmoniker
with pianist Marylene Dosse.  The sound quality is OK but not tremendous.

The CD also contains Lalo's Symphony Espagnole Op. 21.  Be forwarned:
This is not a symphony.  It is actually a violin concerto, and, like all
violin concertos, pretty boring stuff.

Gerhard
