The BBC Philharmonic offers a program mixing Spanish music with Spanish influence. First, music by three French composers captivated by the music of Spain: Hector Berlioz, Camille Saint-Saëns, and Maurice Ravel. The Philharmonic completes the program with Manuel de Falla’s music from The Three-Cornered Hat and the Carmen Fantasy by fellow Spaniard Pablo de Sarasate.
