Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

An essential package, containing as it does the two most indispensable masterpieces of the entire Spanish piano music repertoire, in performances which have long (and justly) been regarded as classics. The twelve "impressions" that comprise Iberia occupied Isaac Albèniz for the last four years of his life (he completed the fourth and final set of three in January 1909). They form an exuberant, sun-drenched sequence, astoundingly virtuosic (Albèniz was himself a renowned pianist) and brimful with toe- tapping rhythmic verve and irresistible local colour. In his gorgeous Goyescas (premiered in 1911, two years after Albèniz's death) Enrique Granados explores a more harmonically searching, wistfully introspective vein: the heavenly "Maiden and the Nightingale" (based on a folk melody) is deservedly one of the most popular of all 20th-century piano gems.

The great Barcelona-born pianist Alicia de Larrocha has been playing this music all her life and it shows time and again in the improvisatory imagination, pellucid tone-colouring and glitteringly idiomatic flavour of her intensely poetic and technically commanding readings. The remastered mid-70s recordings have come up as clean as a whistle, with all the heady bloom and admirable focus of the excellent original masters retained. Terrific value. --Andrew Achenbach

I listen to this album probably more than any other. I haven't heard these two seminal spanish nationalistic piano works played by anyone else, so i can't comment too much on the actual playing, but the music is fantastic.
Both works are very difficult to play as they combine out and out virtuosity with many other difficult musical skills such as cross rythms and the bringing out of inner parts. Alicia de la rocha does this wonderfully well.
I think these works are underplayed in concerts, especially the granados, the opening piece in the set is infused with so many powerful melodies and is a joy to listen to, its a wonder more people don't play it.
Overall i would highly recommend this cd.

I've had this double cd in my collection for a number of years. I play it a lot. The music is superb and atmospheric and the playing outstanding.

Alicia de la Rocha is arguably the pianist par excellence of the music of Albeniz and Granados. She gets right inside its warmth and emotional immediacy, and deftly shows off the unpredictability of the harmonic twists and turns of both composers. The recording quality stands up well against more modern issues. A wonderful bargain.
