Manuel de Falla's music perfectly reflects the full-blooded passion and intellectual aspirations of early 20th century Spanish culture. His personal life seemed to echo the spirit of his times and the broad range of his music.From his sensual treatment of Andalusian folk themes to the neoclassical compositions of his later years de Falla always brought a fierce level of intensity to everything he undertook. *Only available to the territories of Australia Canada Japan Central & South America and the USA.
