Thibaud plays Spanish Music Torrid
Recorded 192733. Tasso Janopolou, piano, except de FallaGeorge De Lausnay, piano Thanks to collectors78rpm for allowing me to use his excellent transfers. You can find this and many other wonderful selections and information at his website: (Granados 5 6) Granados 12 Danses Espagnole5. Andalousie Granados 12 Danses Espagnole6, Rondalle Aragonesa 3:18 Granados 12 Danses Espagnole10. Danza Triste (Melancholia) 7:13 SaintSaens Havanais 11:52 Albeniz Malaguena, op. 165, 3 (arr. Kreisler) 21:12 Albeniz Tango, op. 165, 2 (arr. Kreisler) 25:24 de Falla from Canciones Populares Españolas 28:27 de Falla La Vida Breve 31:33 I cant find the Casals quote I was looking for, but heres the gist. Casals said that when the trio arrived at a new city, he would practice, Cortot would go to a library, and Thibaud would find a bordello. One can see from the pictures when he was younger and, I think, from the way he plays these pieces he was passionate and a ladies man. Thiba
