From the exhilarating impact of Isaac Albeniz at the beginning of the century to today's complex and adventurous avant-garde, this interpretive history introduces 20th century Spanish music to English-speaking readers. Tomas Marco, award-winning composer and critic, covers a wide spectrum of composers and their works: trends and movements, critical and popular reception, national institutions, influences from Europe and beyond, and the effect of such historic events as the Spanish Civil War and the death of Franco. Marco's aesthetic critiques are threaded throughout each phase of this account.
