Jes�s Garc�a Leoz – Film music – Re-recording (1999)(MP3)

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.

The download, admittedly, is not mine (I took it from another site), but nobody has posted this music here so…

Those interested my kindly request the link here.

Thanks!

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.
