Jesus Arambarri (1902 - 1960)

Jess Armbarri is a significant figure in the history of twentieth-century Basque music. A romantic, scholarly and sensitive musician of extraordinary insight and finesse, he drew not only on the tradition established by Felipe Pedrell, Manuel de Falla and Isaac Albniz, but also on the work of his fellow Basque composers Jos Mara Usandizaga, Jess Guridi and Father Jos Antonio de Donostia. Although his fame rests primarily on his work as a conductor, he also composed a series of stylish and expressive pieces, earning him a rightful place of honour within the ranks of Basque composers. Armbarri was born in Bilbao in 1902 and began his musical education there before travelling to Paris, where he stayed until 1932, to study composition with Dukas and conducting with Golschmann. He then went on to further conducting studies with Felix Weingartner in Basle.
