Curatorial context
The recording 'Flamencos: Falla, Granados, Albéniz' is a remaster of a concert by flamenco singer Rocío Márquez and classical pianist Rosa Torres-Pardo, originally held at the Juan March Foundation on November 28, 2014. Released under the March Vivo label, the program is a curated journey into the dialogue between 'culta' (classical) music and its popular inspirations. It features works by prominent Spanish composers Manuel de Falla, Enrique Granados, and Isaac Albéniz, alongside Spanish folk songs, some of which were later harmonized by Federico García Lorca. By interpreting these pieces through a flamenco lens, the performance brings to light a foundational element of the composers' work – their deep connection to the popular culture and musical essence of Spain, which was often overlooked.
The concert serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of Spanish popular and flamenco music that continues to resonate within these classical compositions, a century after they were first created. The release is available on digital platforms, in record stores, and through the Juan March Foundation's own shop, accompanied by a digital booklet.
