Overview

Immerse yourself in the vibrant musical landscape of Spain with this exquisite recording of two seminal works: Manuel de Falla's "El Sombrero de Tres Picos" and Julio Gómez's "Suite en La". These compositions, deeply rooted in Spanish folklore and tradition, come alive under the masterful baton of Ataúlfo Argenta and Julio Gómez, performed by the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de España.

"El Sombrero de Tres Picos" (The Three-Cornered Hat) is a ballet brimming with Andalusian rhythms and color, narrating a tale of mistaken identities and romantic intrigue. Originally performed in London in 1919, the piece features music inspired by folk dances like the Bolero and Fandango, enriched by costumes and set design by Pablo Picasso.

Complementing this is "Suite en La", a symphonic masterpiece by Julio Gómez. First premiered in 1917, the suite captures the essence of Spanish melodic charm and rhythmic vitality, structured in four movements: "Preludio," "Intermedio," "Canción Popular," and "Danza Final."
