This program is a visual and musical hymn of praise to what Andrés
Segovia describes as "the pride, strength, and reverence of
the Spanish soul." That soul is exhibited through the remarkable
music of Spanish composers: Issac Albéniz, Manuel de Falla,
Enrique Granados, and Federico Moreno Torroba; and a gifted group
of painters: El Greco, Goya, and Velásquez. Filmed at Madrid's
El Prado featuring performances by Andrés Segovia, Victoria
de los Angeles and Alicia deLarrocha.
