The early years of the Franco regime saw the formation of a strong
governmental propaganda apparatus. Through expansive press laws
that solidified state control over public and private media outlets
alike, the Franco government directly influenced what information
was made available to the public. While music critics and
journalists were by no means free from government control and
direction, music criticism under the Franco regime did not adhere
to any official party "line" on music. Indeed, music criticism
often demonstrated a diversity of opinion and ideological belief
that runs counter to many common assumptions about journalism under
fascist regimes. In Music Criticism and Music Critics in Early
Francoist Spain, Eva Moreda Rodriguez presents a kaleidoscopic
portrait of the diverse and often divergent writings of music
critics in the early years of the Franco regime. Although she does
not shy away from the thorny issues of propaganda and censorship,
Moreda Rodriguez considers other factors that shaped the
journalistic discourse surrounding music. Political rivalries,
ideological diversity within musical "conservatism," as well as the
explicit and implicit expectations of the Franco government all
influenced the diverse landscape of music criticism. Moreover, the
central issues that music critics were concerned with during
Francoism's early years-modernist music, Spanish early music,
traditional music, and music's role in organizing the state-had
already been at the center of debates within the press for several
decades. Carefully selecting contemporary writings by well-known
music critics, Moreda Rodriguez contextualizes music criticism
written during the Franco regime within the broader intellectual
history of Spain from the nineteenth century onwards. The first
critical study of the musical press of Francoist Spain in the
broader cultural and social fabric of the regime, Music Criticism
and Music Critics in Early Francoist Spain is an essential resource
for musicologists interested in 20th-century Spain, as well as
Hispanists interested in the early Franco regime.
