We know that Italy and Northern Europe are renowned for their art, but what about Spain? In this absorbing and original series, Spanish art gains centre stage as art historian Andrew Graham-Dixon goes on the road to reveal the fabulous art treasures of the country. Travelling from the south to the north he explores some of Europe's most important artists from Renaissance to Modernist - including Goya, Picasso, Dali, El Greco and Velasquez. And, going 'off the beaten track', he reveals rich insights into the culture and people who live and work with the greatest Spanish art and architecture every day. From Moorish art and the Islamic legacy on Spain and Europe to Modernism, Seville to Barcelona, food and wine, Andrew reveals that Spanish culture is every bit as rich as Italy's, with a more surprising edge.

(Cook Records, 1961), 43 mins
It's Holy Week in Màlaga, Spain. We hear the dirges replete with trompetas and drums that mourn the Crucifixion; a song of repentance by a lone flamenco singer; followed by church bells, Gregorian chant, and organ that repeal the sorrow and announce the Resurrection; and the holy Amens of the congregants.

It's Holy Week in Màlaga, Spain. We hear the dirges replete with trompetas and drums that mourn the Crucifixion; a song of repentance by a lone flamenco singer; followed by church bells, Gregorian chant, and organ that repeal the sorrow and announce the Resurrection; and the holy Amens of the congregants. Emory Cook provides an unobtrusive onlooker's commentary.
