About

Prize-winning pianist Artur Pizarro turns his considerable talents to Iberia, the highly virtuosic masterpiece by Isaac Albéniz, and Goyescas by Enrique Granados, considered to be the Spanish composer's finest work. These demanding works showcase Artur’s enviable technique and extreme virtuosity.

Iberia is Albéniz’s last major work and is remarkable for its innovative keyboard writing, its authentic and characterful Spanish colours and the immense virtuosic challenge it presents.

The legacy of great Spanish composers and pianists permeated Artur’s musical education and upbringing, creating in him a natural affinity to this evocative music.

Artur recorded the album on a specially made Blüthner piano, which was designed to replicate the sound of an early 20th century instrument and allowed him to mould and shape the instrument as his own.
