Les sept années que passe le compositeur espagnol Falla à Paris, de 1907 à 1914, marquent un tournant dans sa production. La musique française moderne impressionniste qu'il entend alors fait une grosse impression sur lui et va désormais exercer une forte influence sur son oeuvre inspirée par le folklore espagnol. En 1909, il esquisse des morceaux pour piano seul qu'il intitule à l'origine 'Nocturnes'. Sur les conseils du pianiste Ricardo Viñes et du compositeur Isaac Albéniz, il transforme ensuite sa partition en une suite symphonique tripartite pour piano et orchestre. L'oeuvre est finalement achevée en 1915 et s'appelle désormais 'Nuits dans les jardins d'Espagne'. C'est à Yuja Wang que nous avons demandé de doigter la partie soliste de cette évocation musicale envoûtante de l'Andalousie natale de Manuel de Falla. / 2 Pianos

Manuel De Falla's Homenaje Le Tombeau De Claude Debussy for solo Guitar. 2014 revised edition by John Duarte. / Guitare

In 1915 Falla took a trip through Andalusia with the poet and playwright Maria Lejarraga (Often known as Maria Martinez Sierra) with whom he collaborated on many of his best-known works. Only two of the works from this period have survived and been published they were originally presented under the title Obras Desconocidas but have been reprinted under the title Canciones De Maria Lejarraga.Manuel De Falla (1876-1946) is usually regarded as the greatest Spanish composer of the 20th century. He had a distinctively nationalistic style and most of his works were inspired by Spanishculture or landscape.

La musique de Manuel de Falla reflète parfaitement la passion pléthorique et aspirations intellectuelles du début du XXe siècle, la culture espagnole. Sa vie personnelle semblait faire écho à l'esprit de son époque et la vaste gamme de sa musique. Son traitement sensuelle de thèmes folkloriques andalouse aux compositions néoclassiques de ses dernières années, de Falla a toujours un féroce niveau d'intensité à tout, qu'il a entrepris. / Chant Et Piano

Regarded as the greatest Spanish composer of the 20th century Manuel De Falla (1876-1946) had a distinctively nationalistic style.Cantares De Nochebuena was written c.1903 making it one of his earlier works. It is a collection and arrangement of 9 traditional folksongs for Christmas Eve originally from the Andalusian region of southern Spain.

Arrangements pour violon et Piano de El Amor Brujo (Love le magicien) par Manuel de Falla, arrangé par Paul Kochanski. / Violon / Partition

Fuego Fatuo has an interesting history. Manuel De Falla (1876-1946) often regarded as the greatest Spanish composer of the 20th century wanted to write an opera based around themes from Chopin whomhe greatly admired. The stage work was never finished; however several attempts have been made to arrange the work for orchestra most successfully by the Catalan conductor Antoni Ros-Marb .Despite its history this orchestral suite is far from being a mere mish-mash of Chopin melodies; it is more of a meditation on Chopin’s work in general with the focus on the harmonic and textural elements which De Falla drew from his work.It forms a fascinating insight into the mind of a great musician.

Regarded as the greatest Spanish composer of the 20th century Manuel De Falla (1876-1946) had a distinctive nationalistic style. His 1923 puppet opera El Retablo De Maese Pedro marks the point atwhich he broadens his influences away from Andalusian music and finds inspiration from other Spanish folk genres. His ?Play within a Play? sets a scene from Don Quixote which is actually about a puppettheatre.Scored for Treble Tenor Baritone and Chamber Orchestra this 30-minute opera was immediately praised by the musical establishment of the time and paved the way for De Falla to achieve globalrecognition.
