They say the best Spanish music is written by Frenchmen. Manuel de Falla would have disagreed, and his flamboyant ballet-score The Three-Cornered Hat is one of the great Spanish showpieces. As for Maurice Ravel’s exuberant Rapsodie espagnole and the playful Alborada del gracioso – well, he was half Spanish!

Alan Coady, 1st May

Clive James – with as much modesty as a self-publicist can pull off – says, "all I can do is turn a phrase until it catches the light." A similar ability enlivens the orchestration of masters such as Ravel and Falla.
