Today's show collects pieces from Dr. Paul's favorite musical paradise: Spain. The piquant harmonies, the infectious rhythms and melodies of this land of passionate music are all on display. Some of the greatest composers from diverse lands have been bitten by the Spanish music bug. On tap is the iconic "Bolero" by Ravel (French), "Capriccio Espanole" by Rimsky-Korsakov (Russian), "Fandango" and "Night Music from the Gardens of Spain" by Boccherini (Italy), as well as the celebrated Spanish composers Isaac Albeniz, Enrique Granados, and Pablo de Sarasate. Though most romantic Spanish composers were primarily pianists, plenty of pieces were composed or transposed for Spain's national instrument, the guitar. Come and experience the Gypsy-infused sounds that make Spanish music irresistible.
