Iberia, Volume 1, Book 1 & 2

Iberia, Volume 1, Book 1 & 2 is a collection of piano pieces by Spanish composer Isaac Albéniz, composed between 1905 and 1909. The music blends Spanish folk rhythms and modal melodies with Impressionist harmony and virtuosic, piano-specific textures, producing richly coloured, rhythmically vivid miniatures that represent a culminating point in Albéniz's exploration of national musical idioms and a major contribution to the solo piano repertoire.
