Manuel de Falla
Donald Macleod explores the life of Manuel de Falla, from his Andalusian beginnings, to his final days in Argentina.
Donald Macleod begins the exploration of the life of Manuel de Falla by focusing on his stay in Paris, where he met his mentors - Debussy, Ravel and Dukas. Donald Macleod explores the distinctively French influence his music adopted.
Next, Macleod looks at how World War I gave Falla the chance to provide music for refugees in Spain including Diaghilev and the Ballet Russes and how on his return to Andalucia, Falla rejected the music of the region, preferring the music of Spain's historic past.
