About This Item
Harvard University Press, 1993 8vo (24 cm), [8], 261 pp. Publisher's cloth. From the publisher's description: "From the exhilarating impact of Isaac Albeniz at the beginning of the century to today's complex and adventurous avant-garde, this complete interpretive history introduces twentieth-century Spanish music to English-speaking readers. With graceful authority, Tomas Marco, award-winning composer, critic, and bright light of Spanish music since the 1960s, covers the entire spectrum of composers and their works: trends and movements, critical and popular reception, national institutions, influences from Europe and beyond, and the effect of such historic events as the Spanish Civil War and the death of Franco. Marco's penetrating aesthetic critiques are threaded throughout each phase of this rich account. Marco provides detailed coverage of the key figures, induding a chapter devoted entirely to Manuel de Falla - Spain's most celebrated twentieth-century composer - and a panoramic survey of recent arrivals on the contemporary music scene. This lively history fills a long-felt need and fills it superbly, with the knowledge and insights of a major figure in the musical world."
