de Falla : El sombrero de tres picos, El amor brujo

1.  El Amor Brujo, Ballet for Mezzo-Soprano & Small Orchestra in 1 Act, G. 44 
2. El Sombrero de Tres Picos, Ballet in 2 Parts, G. 53 

The two splendid works on this album resulted from Manuel de Falla's encounter with the husband-and-wife team of dramatists Martínez Sierra-Lejárraga: Love the Magician, whose eminently ‘gypsy’ inspiration takes us to the very heart of the flamenco repertory, here magnificently embodied under the direction of maestro Pablo Heras-Casado; and the brilliant pantomime The Three-cornered Hat, for which Picasso designed the sets and costumes – exactly 100 years ago!
