FROM ROME: From December 2009 until March 2023, the late Giuseppe Pennisi sent us regular reports from the Italian opera and classical music scene.
Spanish composer Salvador Bacarisse Chinoria was born on 12 September 1898 in Madrid and studied there. He was a member of Grupo de los Ocho.
He's best known as a composer for his neo-romantic 1952 Guitar Concertino, Op 72.
After the Spanish Civil War, rejecting the Franco regime, he moved to Paris, working as a broadcaster for the Spanish language service of French National radio and TV from 1945 until his death on 5 August 1963, aged sixty-four.
