Product description

Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of Spanish ballet with Manuel de Falla's "De Falla: The Three Cornered Hat." This captivating album, released on November 1, 2017, by Everest, presents the complete ballet in a meticulously transferred recording from the original Everest Records master tapes. Composed by the renowned Manuel de Falla, this ballet is a cornerstone of 20th-century Spanish music, standing alongside the works of Granados and Albéniz.

The ballet, choreographed by Léonide Massine, was commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev and premiered in London in 1919. Falla's score is a brilliant blend of exuberance and Spanish flair, featuring a soprano soloist, a flamenco-influenced orchestra, and the rhythmic addition of castanets. The album's 12 tracks take you through the ballet's lively narrative, from the introduction to the final dance, showcasing Falla's mastery of orchestration and his deep connection to Spanish musical traditions.

Conducted by Ernest Ansermet and featuring the mezzo-soprano vocals of Teresa Berganza, this recording captures the essence of the ballet's original 1961 performance at the Victoria Hall in Geneva, Switzerland. The 180-gram audiophile vinyl offers a rich, detailed sound that brings Falla's score to life, making it a treasure for both ballet enthusiasts and classical music lovers.
