Composer: Isaac Albéniz
Artists: Giuseppe Feola (guitar)

Isaac Albeniz (1860-1909), along with de Falla and Granados, is considered to be not only one of Spain’s leading composers, but one of the founding fathers of modern Spanish music. He began his musical career as a virtuoso pianist, producing a concerto that shows the influence of Liszt, and many short brilliant display pieces. He studied at the Leipzig Conservatory, and looked set to become a pianist composer in the central European tradition – until he met and studied with Felipe Pedrell (1841-1922) who awakened in him an interest in traditional Spanish music. Albeniz combined his mastery of classical form gained from his studies in Germany with the colour and honest simplicity of folk music to create his unique form of what can be considered very high quality salon music for guitar.

The two works on this CD consist in their original form of eight and five movements respectively of characteristic, picturesque miniatures of high skill and great charm. It has become the norm for guitarists to create their own ‘favourite’ selection from such suites to form their own arrangement, which is what Giuseppe Feola has done.

아름다운 기타 연주곡 잘 들었습니다~감사합니다~🎵🎸🌿🍀☘🌹🌹☘🍀🌿❤❤

[donaldaxel]

I can't help admiring that some arrangements are 2 guitars, while others are almost for one. But guitar-duo is such a wonderful ensemble, with so many expressive possibilities.
I may be wrong, maybe some of the passages I consider duet really are played by Giuseppe Feola soli.

[carlososwaldoaraujo]

Música para soñar, no sólo canta si no transmite su paisaje, sus tradiciones. Es interesante escucharla y dejar que la mente divague.

[joaquinamenabar]

He escuchado esta obra por muchísimos guitarristas. Esta vesion de Feola es una de las mejores, si no la mejor, que he escuchado.... fantástica...
