More Americana, but with a Spanish connection:


George Crumb's Ancient Voices of Children (on poems by García Lorca) with the great Jan DeGaetani (mezzo), Michael Dash (boy soprano), and The Contemporary Chamber Ensemble under the baton of Arthur Weisberg.

Strange and fascinating music (even if I prefer Crumb's Night of the Four Moons —also based on Lorca—).
