Falla's ballet 'El Sombrero de Tres Picos' was commissioned by Diaghilev and premiered in 1919. The old Corregidor, the governor of the province, is attracted by the miller's young wife and attempts to seduce her. From a vivid 1960 recording, made on 35mm magnetic film by the Everest company, we hear the Introduction (with soprano Barbara Howitt) followed by the Dance of the Miller's Wife; the Neighbour's Dance; and the Miller's Dance. Enrique Jorda conducts the London Symphony Orchestra.
