JOS� NIETO CONDUCTS THE FILM MUSIC OF MANUEL PARADA
This is not my download. It’s taken from emule, although I’ve corrected the numbering of the cues. I’ve also taken the jpg notes from another source and added them.
Manuel Parada (1911-1973) was a Spanish film composer who remains notorious for his closeness to the Francoist regime. Significantly, he wrote the opening fanfare for the newsreel series NO-DO, which represented the news as presented officially, as well as the music for several Francoist propaganda features, not least Jos� Luis S�enz de Heredia’s Raza, which was scripted by General Franco himself, hiding behind a pseudonym. In addition to Raza, the recording includes Parada’s music for another jingoistic epic, Los �ltimos de Filipinas, the melodrama El esc�ndalo and the comedy Maribel y la extra�a familia.
Parada remained a prolific film composer in the American style until the early 1960s, when his star started to fade, possibly due to the emergence of a new generation composed of the likes of Luis de Pablo, Carmelo Bernaola, Ant�n Garc�a Abril, Antonio P�rez Olea, �ngel Arteaga and others.
This 2001 issue is composed of re-recordings, with the noted film composer Jos� Nieto conducting the Bratislava Radio Symphony Orchestra. Although Nieto managed to find the original scores of the film music presented here, there was no available score for the newsreel fanfare, which had to be reconstructed.
Tracks
1- NO-DO newsreel (1943)
2-11 – LOS �LTIMOS DE FILIPINAS (1945)
12-23 – EL ESC�NDALO (1943)
24-33 – MARIBEL Y LA EXTRA�A FAMILIA (1960)

The only problem with this music is that there is not more of it.
Many thanks, Astuarco.
