...described last winter in Gstaad, Switzerland, made it sound like a perfect spring vacation. As Robin Duke, wife of U.S. Ambassador to Spain Angier Biddle Duke, pictured the annual fair in Seville, it was the essence of Spain, a six-day post-Lenten fiesta with superb bull fighting, Andalusian flamenco dancing all night long in the fair's tent village, colorful parades and a marvelous ball. What's more, the Duchess of Alba would be all too glad to have Jacqueline Kennedy as her guest...
SCARLATTI: 51 SONATAS (3 LPs; Cambridge). Harpsichordist Albert Fuller has made a representative but unhackneyed selection of 16 early, 17 middle and 18 late sonatas (though all were published after Scarlatti was 54). The pieces, paired like Bach's preludes and fugues, are miniature marvels-many with a flamenco flavor-and Fuller dashes them off with robust energy and vivid coloration. His interpretations, however, lack the poetry and variety that Fernando Valenti brings to Scarlatti. Valenti has recorded 29 LPs (346 sonatas), most of which are available on Westminster...
...Gothic cathedral. But across the Guadalquivir, tens of thousands of spinning bobbins turn raw cotton and wool into finished fabric in one of Europe's largest textile plants. In the main square of Cordoba, an Arab caliphate for 250 years, a transcribed electric guitar chimes the hour in flamenco rhythm. In Bilbao, shipyards work round the clock to keep pace with orders for merchant vessels from all over the world-including Communist Poland and Cuba. "Everything is changing in Spain," says Industrialist Eduardo Barreiros. "The commotion is from top to bottom and bottom...
There was the mandatory Frank Sinatra Joke, an orgy of network self-promotion (walk-ons by NBC stars), a tiresome, ten-minute flamenco ballet. As for the much-ballyhooed TV debut of Sammy's big drawing card, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Burton-well, television has rarely seen such a bust...
...Flamenco at Toulouse. Among the sketches in the show are several sly caricatures of Diaghilev, a top hat perched on his balding pate, a pince-nez trailing across his crooked countenance. There is a portrait of the ballerina Koklova, previously seen only by Picasso's intimate friends. Some of the most delightful works are sets and costumes designed for Manuel de Falla's The Three-Cornered Hat, a merry Spanish folk tale replete with flamenco dancers. For the Toulouse Festival, the Paris Opéra reproduced the 1919 costumes, including a coquettish gown that the original first ballerina...
