Hola! This week on “The Lost Chord,” I’ll be dipping deep into the archive for a 2007 show devoted to Spanish classics from the Naxos catalogue.

We’ll enjoy rarely heard works by Joaquín Rodrigo (his “Preludio para un poema a la Alhambra,“ from 1928), Basque composer Jesús Guridi (“Asi cantan los chicos” – variously translated as “So the boys sing” or “Thus sing the children” – settings of poems by Juan Carlos Gortázar, from 1915), and Antonio José (“Sinfonía castellana,” of 1923), whose life was cut tragically short by the Spanish Civil War.

Few of us have the time, money, or motivation to hop the Atlantic for the weekend. Happily, as always, music is a passport to a wider world. I hope you’ll join me for “No Spain, No Gain,” on “The Lost Chord,” now in syndication on KWAX, the radio station of the University of Oregon!
