The Brazilian pianist Guiomar Novaes (1895-1979) performs the first movement ((In the Generalife) of Manuel de Falla's "Nights In The Gardens of Spain." Hans Swarowsky conducts the Pro Musica Symphony of Vienna. This recording was made in Vienna in 1954; the LP from which I made this video was issued by Vox later that year, serial number STPL 58.520.
