Description

Describing Albéniz's music with enthusiasm, Claude Debussy, one of the founders of the Spanish national style, exclaimed, "One closes one's eyes and is bedazzled by the sheer wealth of invention in this music!" Albéniz's "Suite espagnole" for piano is surely his most popular work, reflecting the manifold rhythms and melodies of different Spanish regions, with the last piece even representing Cuba. The much-loved composition "Asturias" was also included in the collection, which now joins "Iberia" and the "Chants d'Espagne" in our acclaimed series of Albéniz's piano works.
