Michael Christoforidis, a Professor of Musicology at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, University of Melbourne, discusses Manuel de Falla (1876–1946), a pivotal figure in Spanish culture during the Silver Age and arguably one of Spain's most renowned composers. He achieved widespread recognition in a country more famous for its literary and visual artists. Falla's music effectively bridged Spanish and French influences, highlighting modernity while preserving a profound connection to Spanish culture, evident in works such as 'La vida breve,' 'Noches en los jardines de España,' and 'El retablo de Maese Pedro.'
