Indeed - a lovely piece, like so many by this vastly under-prized
composer!
Actually, Guridi has had quite a good year, with a very successful Naxos
record of some of his best orchestral and choral works, not least the
magical children's cantata "Asi cantan los chicos" ; and a volume of
his organ works played by Esteban Elizondo iriarte on Aeolus - this in
particular is a highly impressive CD from both the musical and executive
point of view.
By the way, there is a CHRISTMAS QUIZ on ZARZUELA.NET (with a Cuban
theme and CD prize) which some of you may like to try!
