Changhong accused him of defrauding them through bad checks.

He was a leading member of the Grupo de los Ocho( founded in the spirit of Les Six to combat musical conservatism) and helped to promote new music as the artistic director of Unión Radio until 1936.
At the end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939, Bacarisse exiled himself to Paris after rejecting the Francoist State of Francisco Franco.
From 1945 until his death, he worked for Radio- Télévision Française as a broadcaster of Spanish- language programmes.
Bacarisse composed for the piano, mixed chamber ensembles, operas including" El tesoro de Boabdil" which won a French radio award in 1958, and orchestral works including four piano concertos and a violin concerto.

His music is consistently tonal, his treatment and harmonization of his thematic material( often deceptively simple- sounding) is sophisticated, and he revels in sharp contrasts of mood and colour.
