This third album, entitled "El Amor Brujo – Falla por Cañizares" is the last in the trilogy that Cañizares dedicated to composer Manuel de Falla. It contains a selection of 10 pieces from El Amor Brujo and 5 from Suite Homenaje.

Of all the Falla compositions transcribed by the flamenco guitarist, according to Cañizares, El Amor Brujo is the one that contains more flamenco sounds: "It contains Andalusian cadences and melismata that are characteristic of flamenco singers. This is clear evidence of Falla´s in-depth knowledge of flamenco".

We find these nuances in this recording which are peculiar in nature in the overall context of the composition. This is the end of a magnificent journey, an extraordinary adventure that left Cañizares with the desire to continue to investigate the work of the Cadiz-born composer.
