Rosita Bal - Preludio, for Piano

Paula Ríos - Piano
Rosa García Ascot (1902-2002) was a Spanish Composer. She was the only woman in the famed Group of Eight, whose members also included Julián Bautista, Ernesto Halffter and his brother Rodolfo, Juan José Mantecón, Fernando Remacha, Salvador Bacarisse and Jesús Bal y Gay. She married Bal y Gay in 1933. Her more notable compositions include Suite para orquesta (Suite for orchestra), Preludio (Prelude), and the Concierto para piano y orquesta (Concerto for piano and orchestra).
García Ascot was an exponent of Manuel de Falla's music as a concert pianist and is also considered the latter's last disciple. Before studying with de Falla in Madrid, she was a pupil of Felipe Pedrell, and later studied with Enrique Granados.

I would like to find more about this "famed" Group of Eight, as I work on the dynamics of musical Groups. Untill now I have listed The Five, Les Six, Les Trois, Zodiaque, École d'Arcueil... but this Groupe of Eight is a novelty.
