   11. Manuel de Falla

   Michael Christoforidis, a Professor of Musicology at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, University of Melbourne, discusses Manuel de Falla (1876–1946), a pivotal figure in Spanish culture during the Silver Age and arguably one of Spain's most renowned composers. He achieved widespread recognition in a country more famous for its literary and visual artists. Falla's music effectively bridged Spanish and French influences, highlighting modernity while preserving a profound connection to Spanish culture, evident in works such as 'La vida breve,' 'Noches en los jardines de España,' and 'El retablo de Maese Pedro.'

She was, as well, a passionate supporter of Galician culture, environmental protection, and marginalized communities.

   07. Antonio Machado

   Antonio Machado was part of the Generation of 1898, a group of writers that were concerned about Spain’s position in the modern world and wrote to inspire people to reassess their values in order to awaken a national consciousness. Unlike his contemporaries, Machado adopted what he called “eternal poetry,” which was based more on reflection and intuition, than on intellect.

   05. Juan Ramón Jiménez

   Many Spanish-language poets, from Lorca to Pablo Neruda or Octavio Paz are indebted to the work of Juan Ramón Jiménez, Spanish poet who received the Nobel Prize of Literature en 1956.

    04. José Ortega y Gasset

    Above all a philosopher, José Ortega y Gasset enunciated the seminal idea of his thought in this sentence: “I am myself and my circumstance, and if I don’t save it, I don’t save myself”. In this podcast, Juan Pablo Fusi, Professor Emeritus of Contemporary History at Madrid’s Universidad Complutense, talks about this outstanding figure in Spanish culture that tried to make sense of the most important challenges of 20th century’s humanity.

    03. Salvador Dalí

    Dalí was born in the early years of the twentieth century in a typical bourgeois family from Figueres (Spain). Trained as a classical artist, he soon discovered Surrealism and also became a celebrity in other artistic fields, such as writing, film and design, which cannot be understood without taking into account the creative project he conceived with his wife Gala. In Dali’s Teatre-Museu, in Figueres, his essence is all over the place, just like an old vice or a never negotiated remorse. In fact, this prodigious building is not only Dalí’s museum: it is also his mausoleum. In this podcast, Estrella de Diego, Professor of Art History at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, talks about this outstanding figure in Spanish culture. Presented by Maria Jenell Nicolas Dalí’s voiceover by Luis Carlos de la Lombana Books and publications about Salvador Dalí Aguer, Montse, Dalí's world, London, Goodman, 2009.

    02. Christopher Columbus

    No one from Spain’s past is more famed, more hated or more misunderstood than Cristopher Columbus. Misplaced vengeance topples Columbus’ statues. Tweets traduce him. He was mendacious, egotistical, irrational, self-righteous, humourless, and mean. But he had virtues to balance his vices—including dazzling bravery, a kind of ingenuous charm, and a confiding nature. He was, moreover, sympathetic towards cultures other than his own, including Native Americans’. In this podcast, Felipe Fernández-Armesto, William P. Reynolds Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame, talks about this outstanding figure in Spanish culture.

    01. Benito Pérez Galdós

    The general view of Nineteenth Century European narrative is somehow incomplete. The literary critics who set up the canonical banquet table of the XIX century novelists made name tags for only a few: Balzac, Dickens, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Flaubert, Zola and Henry James. Meanwhile writers of equal talent, like Benito Pérez Galdós —considered the most important fiction writer in Spain after Miguel de Cervantes— were not even contemplated as possible guests. In this episode, Germán Gullón, literary critic, writer and Professor emeritus of Spanish Literature at the University of Amsterdam, presents the life, work and significance of this outstanding figure in Spanish culture. With readings of Galdós by Heilet van Ree.
