A fast early note on the repertoire included here - two recordings never before released on this compilation come from the Dallas Symphony Orchestra's recording of De Falla and Albeniz. The more famous "Three Cornered Hat" is paired with the much less often recorded orchestrated version of Albeniz's Iberia Suite. These 1991 ProArte recordings (CDS 588) are making their digital debuts, and have been out of print for over 20 years.
A quick word - there is a Volume 2 coming soon. I can't tell you how many versions of this compilation we tried to put together. First, we struggled to define "Spanish Music" - we've tried to stay fairly strict to music composed by composers born in the country of Spain, with the exception of Domenico Scarlatti, who worked for the Queen of Spain and whose music shows deep Spanish influence. But we did decide to keep off music "inspired" by Spain, such as Rapsodie Espagnole by Maurice Ravel.
The OTHER complicating factor, if we used that strong definition of Spanish music we could not include our vast number of recordings by composers who live in Spanish-speaking or Latin American countries, like Argentina, Brazil (Portuguese, yes) and Chile and even the Caribbean Islands. So...we are coming with Spanish Music Box Volume 2 that includes the composers who didn't live in Spain and honestly, we couldn't fit Big Box of Latin American Composers on a cover...so that box featuring Ernesto Nazareth, several Mexican, Argentinian, Cuban and Chilean composers whose music we'd like to feature, is coming in late 2019 or early 2020.
Also...we couldn't really mix the folk song recordings of Germaine Montero on this Spanish music set, and we decided to create a separate release that features her folksongs recordings and the Lorca recording she made for Vanguard.
And as a business factor, much of the Latin American composers box included music composed recently enough that it is disqualified from a 99 cent release, unfortunately, and we tried to create a "streaming-downloading hybrid" but we just couldn't get it to work.
