Film Music by Manuel Balboa

In the sad list of musicians who had their promising film career interrupted due to their premature death, we must include Manuel Balboa, a Galician composer who delivered, despite everything, a bouquet of exquisite works of great musical quality –and which in the end hurts more, a subtle but elegant voice of his own, something that is so eagerly needed for film music in general.

Under the direction of Ángel Gil-Ordóñez, the Galicia Symphony Orchestra interpreted with enviable ease the four scores of Balboa, characterized by its elegant classicism far removed from Hollywood pomposity.
