Often known as the father of Spanish film music, the Navarrese composer Jes�s Garc�a Leoz (1904-53) was one of the big three � along with Juan Quintero and Manuel Parada � of film composers of post-war Spain. Here we have a selection of his music, re-recorded in 1999, with Jos� Nieto (himself, of course, a noted film composer) conducting the Bratislava Radio Symphony Orchestra.

The tracks are distributed as follows.

1-9 Balarrasa (1951) Jos� Antonio Nieves Conde�s religiously-themed crime drama.
10-13 Surcos (Furrows) Nieves Conde�s tale of immigration, corruption and black-marketeering in Madrid.
14 La sirena negra (1947) (The Black Mermaid)(Suite) An adaptation of the Emilia Pardo Baz�n novel by Carlos Serrano de Osma. The only film here I haven�t seen. Presumably good to judge by the credits.
15 Niebla y sol (1951) (Fog and Sun) (Suite) Jos� Mar�a Forqu�s first film
16-21 �Bienvenido, M�ster Marshall! (1953) (Welcome, Mr. Marshall!) Luis Garc�a Berlanga�s classic comedy on American aid to Spain.

You country, I think, is Mexico. Garc�a Leoz is well-known there? For film music or concert music? In Spain, at any rate, he is known for scoring SURCOS and WELCOME, MR MARSHALL, which are among the best-known of Spanish films.

Mexicans, at the time of Garc�a Leoz, had a good film composer called Lavista. He did most of Bu�uel's movies. Stars from the Mexican concert hall, like Ch�vez and Revueltas, also did a few movie scores during the classic age of the country's cinema.

Can you send me the link, please?
