Radio 3's Christopher Columbus series opens with Manuel de Falla 's scenic cantata, completed after his death by his pupil Emesto Halffter. The young Columbus is enthralled by the story of the lost city of Atlantis, and as an adult he sets out to fulfil his vision of a new
Christian continent rising from the Atlantic.
