Directed by Larry Weinstein, best known for known for Burnt Toast, Our Man in Tehran and Ravel's Brain. Including the full performance of Nights in the Gardens of Spain. A music film combining night-time footage of the Alhambra, the Moorish palace and gardens atop the hills of Granada, with a stunning performance of de Falla's masterpiece by pianist Alicia de Larrocha.
