Since in 1920 Manuel de Falla opened the door of Debussy's garden to young guitarists guitars inebriate themselves in quarts of these fragrances. |
The same can be said for the discussion of an homage to Falla held at the Opera-Comique in 1928, an event that has been chronically misdated and thus overlooked. |
Several centuries later, Manuel de Falla and Joaquin Rodrigo would draw upon the fertile ground of Spanish folklore, taking from it both engaging imagery and unbridled passion. |
Born in 1933 in Teruel, main city of the Aragon province, Anton Garcia Abril is clearly a master of a generation, who, in the footsteps of Albeniz, Falla, Granados and Turina, were the builders of Spanish classical music. |
The overwhelming success of Vida allows Falla to pause and reflect, to acknowledge former influences from Puccini and Wagner and to organize his musical world in, finally, a coherent whole. |
Falla may be feeling the effects of his fight to reach this stage but that is slightly offset by how well-adjusted he now is to the conditions in Paris. |
