Albeniz / Falla / Granados - Flamencos - Music CD

This is a remastered recording of the concert given by cantaora Roco Mrquez and pianist Rosa Torres-Pardo at the Fundacin Juan March on November 28, 2014. It presents a selection of Spanish classical works interspersed with music from the folk tradition that inspired their composition. The flamenco singer-classical pianist duo interweaves works by Manuel de Falla, Enrique Granados and Isaac Albniz with popular Spanish songs (some of which were later harmonized by Federico Garca Lorca). The artists' flamenco take on classical repertoire reveals the often neglected traditional origins of works whose composers drew on popular culture as they searched for the essence of Spanish music.
