Description
When the Catalan composer Alb��niz wrote his six album leaves ��Espa��a�� at the age of 30, he was in London and his piano recitals were causing a sensation. At these concerts he often performed his own compositions which were infused with the flair of his home country. Alb��niz also gave the first performance of the piano cycle ��Espa��a�� in London, taking his audience on a journey through the Spanish countryside: exotic dance rhythms (��Zortzico��) and melodic folk tunes (��Serenata��) are preceded by the famous ��Tango��, made known through many arrangements.
