Info for Spain

Im Juni 1922 fand auf dem Gelände des Alhambra-Palastes in Granada ein Kulturfest statt, das von Manuel de Falla und Federico García Lorca organisiert wurde. Ziel der Veranstaltung war es, die »Reinheit« der Flamenco-Kunst zu bewahren. Das Eröffnungskonzert spielte der 29jährige Andrés Segovia. Ironischer weise spielte er de Fallas Hommage an Claude Debussy (auf dieser Produktion) – ein Werk, das kaum als reiner Flamenco bezeichnet werden kann.

Dies kann jedoch als symptomatisch für ein wichtiges Merkmal in der Musik Spaniens im 20. Jahrhundert angesehen werden: Einige Komponisten verteidigten das, was sie für ein edles, galantes und kastilisches Ideal hielten, während andere sich auf die Suche machten, die »verlorene Reinheit« Spaniens wiederherzustellen und setzten hierzu Volksmusik, aber auch Moderne und Impressionismus als stilistische Werkzeuge ein. Dies wird auf Franz Halász‹ neuer Einspielung demonstriert, die einen roten Faden enthält von Miláns Pavanen aus dem 16. Jahrhundert über Fernando Sors ›Malbroug‹-Variationen von 1827 bis zu späteren Werken, die die beschriebenen, widersprüchlichen Einstellungen verkörpern.

Dies ergibt ein farbenfrohes und abwechslungsreiches Programm, das Höhepunkte der Gitarrenliteratur wie Tárregas ›Recuerdos de la Alhambra‹ sowie Joaquín Turinas Gitarrensonate aufgreift, die hier zum ersten Mal aus einer Kopie von Turinas Originalmanuskript und nicht aus Segovias Version mit zahlreichen Änderungen gespielt wird. Der Grammy-Gewinner Franz Halász leistet hier mit seinen eigenen Arrangements von de Falla und Isaac Albéniz auch einen eigenen Beitrag zum Repertoire seines Instruments.
