Granados & Albéniz: Piano Works

José Iturbi (2024 Remastered, Paris 1959)

1 disc(s) - 9 track(s)
Total length: 00:43:38

 

José Iturbi possesses a truly infinite palette of colors and sounds, and, like Alicia de Larrocha, interprets the music of his country to perfection. Iturbi makes the Spanish pieces sound almost like flamenco: listen to the stamping and the impish fantasy in his Albéniz, the full-blooded elegance in Granados's Allegro de concierto.

How pleasant it is to hear a recording that's close to the piano, not drowned out by reverberation, with plenty of roundness and warmth in the upper midrange, and with that touch of brilliance just when it's needed. This is how all piano recordings should sound.

Enjoy your listening
