ISAAC ALBENIZ

 

Iberia

 

Jean-François Heisser (piano)

In the history of piano music, there are few examples of a cycle as vast as that of Iberia, an absolute masterpiece of Franco-Spanish music, written by the composer Isaac Albéniz at the start of the 20th century in Paris.

 

Today the score stands out as the expression of a European composer who returned to a secret garden, that of Spain, his dream.  Iberia is here performed by Jean-François Heisser, a specialist in

this repertoire.

 

This CD-book incorporates photography to open the experience of Spanish music to a more universal perspective.  Isabel Muñoz examines the unique features of her native land from flamenco and tango, to bullfighting and architecture.
