Homages
Encouraged by Felipe Pedrell, Manuel de Falla arrived in Paris in 1907. Until his return to Madrid in 1914, forced by the start of the Great War, the Cadiz composer spent some crucial years in his training: “As far as my job is concerned, my homeland is Paris”, he will say later. There he meets and becomes intimate with some of the best composers of the moment, including Paul Dukas, who will be his teacher, and Claude Debussy. The relationships between the three are invigorating: Debussy composes La Puerta del Vino from a coloured postcard that Falla sent him. When Debussy died in 1918, both Dukas and the Andalusian musician would compose a tombeau each in tribute. Falla also wrote another on the death of Dukas, in 1935. Juan Carlos Garvayo has centered his program in this exchange of tributes, which is expanded with other works, including a rerun of a Mauricio Sotelo’s piece.
