Episode 2
Donald Macleod discusses Albeniz and Granados's involvement in the quest for a Spanish national style of music.
The Spanish musicologist Felipe Pedrell's manifesto proposing a school of music that would draw on Spain's musical heritage, stimulated heated discussions among the country's leading musicians. Albéniz and Granados who had studied with Pedrell independently of each other, became part of that dialogue, finding inspiration for their own work in the folk music and history of Spanish music. With Donald Macleod.
