Description
Albnizs distinctive musical vocabulary, with its sensual harmonies, rich melodic lines and characteristic rhythmic figures, has ensured lasting popularity, not least in his music for the piano. This album of four-hand piano music reveals the composers love of Spains regional music traditions, whether in the glittering sweep of the Suite espaola No. 1 or in the Rapsodia espaola where a hypnotic dreamscape meets dramatic outbursts. Two movements from Iberia one of which is a rarely encountered arrangement by the great Spanish pianist Alicia de Larrocha reveal a daring modernity that aligns Albniz with Debussy and Ravel.
