In this vibrant and colorful orchestral program from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Domingo Hindoyan, Chabrier”s España opens proceedings. The composer”s interest in Spain was most likely the result of his friendship with the artist Edouard Manet, whose paintings depicted Spanish themes. The conductor of the premiere was Charles Lamoureux who persuaded Chabrier to visit Spain in the summer of 1882. This work was the catalyst for French composers who followed to explore Spanish influences. Manual de Falla commented on Debussy”s Iberia “”Without knowing Spain, or without having set foot on Spanish ground,”” he noted, “”Debussy has written Spanish music. He came to know Spain through books and paintings, through songs and dances performed by native Spaniards.””
