Isaac Albéniz: Suite Espagnole Op. 47

Description

“One closes one’s eyes and is bedazzled by the sheer wealth of invention in this music!” The person who spoke so enthusiastically about Albéniz , one of the founders of the Spanish national style, was none other than Claude Debussy. The “ Suite Espagnole ” for Piano is surely his most popular work. It reflects the manifold rhythms and melodies of different Spanish regions – and in the last piece even Cuba is represented. The much loved composition “ Asturias ” was also included in the collection. This work now joins “Iberia” and the “Chants d’Espagne” in our much renowned series of Albéniz ’ Piano works.
