...that López Rodó's planners had not counted on. The country is counting the cost of rapid urbanization. Hopeful peasants are forsaking such dirt-poor regions as Andalusia or Estremadura for the industrial cities, where there is scarcely enough new housing to shelter even a fraction of them. Tourists too have paid part of the price of Spain's new prosperity. Stretches of the sunny coastlines are now so grotesquely overbuilt that they have become little more than ugly concrete jungles; the famed Costa del Sol is referred to sarcastically as "Miami Beach East...

The public must have acted on faith to hail Wozzeck on the strength of the suite excerpts: they contain only a fraction of the tragedy and sarcasm that pervades the opera. The last suite movement in particular loses nearly all its power as a mere conclusion to so short a collection. It is as unbecoming as Handel's Halleleujah chorus shouted out with nothing before or after...
