_____________________

This super-budget collection offers an accessible introduction to the richness of the Spanish piano repertoire, featuring acclaimed recordings that trace its evolution. Beginning with Domenico Scarlatti—whose 555 keyboard sonatas integrated Iberian rhythms into European tradition—the set follows native successors such as Antonio Soler. The late-Romantic flowering appears in Enrique Granados (Goyescas) and Isaac Albéniz (Iberia), while Manuel de Falla and Joaquín Turina further shaped a modern national voice. The anthology concludes with the introspective lyricism of Federico Mompou, whose refined minimalism offers a contemplative epilogue to Spain’s distinctive pianistic tradition.
