After the Spanish composer Albéniz settled in Paris, he became part of an inner circle of composers including Chausson, Dukas, Fauré, Debussy and Ravel. All of the works on this CD were written between 1895 and 1909, the year Albéniz died. They show a great variety of styles and colours and it is sublime music.
