                    [Summary] => The Toyota Classics concert program of the Cadaques Orches-tra, which Philippe Entremont conducted at the Meralco Theater the other week, could well have been the concluding part of the Spanish Fiesta! Why? The audience heard predominantly Spanish works, including a contemporary piece by Xavier Montsalvatge, Albeniz’s Triana  from "Iberia", Joaquin Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez  featuring Jose Maria Gallardo del Rey as guitar soloist, and De Falla’s Amor Brujo (Love, the Sorcerer).
