John Singer Sargent’s Flamenco Playlist by Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco published on 2022-12-14T22:34:53Z Around 1916, Sargent gave his friend Isabella Stewart Gardner the 22 flamenco records digitized here. He wrote to her expressing strong preferences for certain singers and types of songs in a particular sales catalogue, and urged her to consider only “flamenco songs and not the rubbish that the catalogue is full of.” Gardner noted her own opinions on the labels of the albums Sargent gave her, classifying them as “good” or “bad.” All music courtesy of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston. www.gardnermuseum.org Learn more about the exhibition “Sargent and Spain,” on view February 11 through May 14, 2023.
