About this album

The Three Cornered Hat is a vivid and characterful reading of Manuel de Falla’s ballet score, combining rhythmic bite with Spanish colour and theatrical momentum. Ernest Ansermet and L’Orchestre de la Suisse Romande bring clarity and dramatic lift to the orchestral writing, while Teresa Berganza adds eloquence and poise to the vocal presence associated with the work’s later performance tradition. First heard in 1919 and issued here in a 1962 recording, this performance helped confirm the score’s place as one of the great twentieth-century ballets, admired for its concise structure, vivid dances and sharp blend of modernism and folklore.
