The Inaugural Concert for the European Year in Music took place at the Teatro Real hall in Madrid on January 21, 1985, the programme consisting in four pieces by four leading Spanish composers from the so-called �Generation of 51�. These were Carmelo Bernaola (1929-2002), Tom�s Marco (1942, the �kid brother� of the Generation), Luis de Pablo (1930) and Crist�bal Halffter (1930), the latter from the prolific Halffter saga.
Bernaola is represented by his Second Symphony, which I have already uploaded in another, more recent version. Tom�s Marco�s piece is the second of his �choral concertos�, the earlier one being for violin, this one for piano, with the late Humberto Quagliata taking on the solo part. All pieces are of a then-recent vintage, except for the Halffter, his Cantata of Human Rights, which premiered at the UN headquarters in 1968. Using words by Norman Corwin, it contains (as far as I can make out) aleatoric elements.
Of the four composers represented here, three have been film composers. Halffter created a lot of scores for the films of Rafale Gil in the 1950s; Luis de Pablo, apart from the early 1960s monster movie The Sound of Horror, was involved in much of Carlos Saura's early work; and Bernaola scored numerous comedies, dramas and horror films (including Horror Rises from the Tomb, presented here by me).
The pieces are distributed into two CDs:
CD 1
- Carmelo Bernaola � Symphony No. 2 (1980)
- Tom�s Marco � Sacred Space (Choral Concerto No. 2)
Piano: Humberto Quagliata
CD 2
- Luis de Pablo � Adagio (1983)
- Crist�bal Halffter � Yes, Speak Out, Yes (Human Rights Cantata) (1968)
