Falla, Manuel de - Piano Music Vol 1 - Ligorio, Daniel
Toimitusaika: Noin 7 - 14 arkipäivää
• This is the first of a two disc survey of Falla’s complete piano music, and it is the first time that this composer’s complete piano works have been presented together to include juvenilia, piano transcriptions of his own orchestral works, as well as pieces written expressly for the instrument.
• The early works are fascinating – some of them show great potential and are clearly the work of an exceptional student, although they are written very much in a Romantic vein which he would later abandon.
• The earliest works in this collection date from the turn of the twentieth century: the Nocturno, Serenata, and Serenata andaluza were written between 1899 and 1902, when Falla was in his twenties and studying at the Madrid Conservatory. His Cuatro piezas españolas were given their première in 1909 by Ricardo Viñes. They have become a staple of the piano repertoire, and blend Spanish nationalism with the sensuality of French Impressionism.
• Daniel Ligorio was referred to as a “sterling soloist” by Classical CD Review when they reviewed a previous release, Naxos 8.557101.
