Tonight, another take on Spain, with Manuel de Falla’s patriotic celebration of his home country, which showcases folksongs he collected and arranged, much to the tastes of early twentieth-century Parisian audiences under the spell of hispanisme. From Falla’s suite to Stravinsky’s, drawn from his darkly comic ballet composed during World War I. The second half features Franck’s Romantic masterpiece, stirring in its harmonic twists and turns and thrilling in its propulsive Finale.
