About
Manuel de Falla is regarded as the greatest Spanish composer of the twentieth century. Established in Paris from 1907 to 1914, he met Debussy, Ravel and Dukas, and steeped himself in their works. Exploring and capturing Hispanic musical idioms, he invented scores for lavish ballets, colour-saturated orchestras, splashy voices, refined pianos, and thus contributed greatly to universal modernism. Setting his main works in their diverse context, this edition invites exploration and discovery. It spans almost a century of recording history, encompassing a host of great instrumentalists, singers, conductors and orchestras, many of them from Spain and France. And among legendary sessions from which he gained fame is Falla himself at the piano, still astonishing today.
The release of this edition marks 75 years since the death of the prominent Spanish composer Manuel de Falla (1876-1946). Born in Cádiz, Falla developed an interest in native Spanish music – in particular Andalusian flamenco – while studying with Felipe Pedrell in Madrid in the late 1890s. He composed his one-act opera La vida breve in Madrid in 1905.
From 1907 to 1914 he lived in Paris. There he met a number of composers who had an influence on his style, including Maurice Ravel, Claude Debussy and Paul Dukas, as well as Igor Stravinsky, Florent Schmitt, Isaac Albéniz and the impresario Sergei Diaghilev. Then he returned to Madrid, where he composed several of his best-known pieces: El amor brujo (1915), Noches en los jardines de España (1916), El sombrero de tres picos (1917).
From 1921 to 1939 he established in Granada: El retablo de maese Pedro (1923) and Concerto for harpsichord and chamber ensemble (1926). In 1939, following Franco's victory in the Spanish Civil War, he moved to Argentina where he lived in perpetual nostalgia for his native country, until his death in 1946.
Manuel de Falla, the Spanish Soul: An authoritative and representative survey of Falla music in excellent interpretations by an array of outstanding musicians, including Falla himself. This edition encompasses all of Falla’s major works: Fantasía bética, Siete canciones populares españolas, La vida breve, Noches en los jardines de España, Concerto for harpsichord and five instruments, Homenajes, El amor brujo, El retablo de Maese Pedro, Atlàntida… Only early works of little interest – and not recorded – are omitted.
CDs 8 & 9 include many arrangements and transcriptions and illustrate the strong appeal of his music and its evocative power. CDs 10 & 11 include historical recordings which testify to the popularity of his music in the early history of recorded music.
Among the great singers, instrumentalists and conductors: Victoria de los Ángeles, Daniel Hope, Jacqueline du Pré, Edgar Moreau, Manuel Barrueco, Ernesto Bitetti, Thibaut Garcia, Turibio Santos, John Williams, Jean-François Heisser, Alicia de Larrocha, Gonzalo Soriano, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Carlo Maria Giulini, and Charles Dutoit.
Among the historical recordings: Maria Barrientos, Nan Merriman, Conchita Velásquez, Manuel de Falla, Ricardo Viñes, Yehudi Menuhin, David Oistrakh, Sir John Barbirolli, and Ernesto Halffter.
The version from 1954 of Siete canciones populares españolas by Nan Merriman and Gerald Moore appears here for the first time on CD.
