Description:

Yukine Uehara, a pianist who conveys the "life" of Albéniz, will complete the series of "Albéniz's Works"! This year (2009), the 100th anniversary of Albéniz's death, the series started in 2007 by Yukine Uehara, a Spanish piano specialist who is highly praised even in Albéniz's home country Spain, will be completed. The final volume of the "Iberia" suite (4 volumes), which has been divided into volumes since the first volume of the series, approaches the last years of Albéniz's life and concludes this monumental series with a variety of fascinating and highly selected works. The performances, which penetrate deep into the heart of Albéniz, the "human being" behind the score, are filled with deep brilliance, and the passion and melancholy of Spain rise throughout the resonance. ［Comments courtesy of ALM RECORDS/Kojima Recording
