Appropriately, the opening piece of the concert is a musical portrait of the Andalusian capital by Albeniz, who came from northern Spain but whose soul seemed to be in the folk music of the south. The setting for this piece is the Patio de la Muñecas (or Doll's Court - named for its small proportions), an exquisitely tiled patio with galleries above its delicate marble columns. This was the centre of the private domestic life of the court in King Pedro's palace, completed in 1366 in the Islamic style, echoing five hundred years of former Arab domination of the city.
