Albéniz's piano music generally overshadows the rest of his output. In his songs and lieder however, we find a variety of different pieces, from the salon romanza to the French impressionist-style song, alongside recited texts with piano accompaniment. The collected edition of these songs, some of them previously unpublished, sheds new light on this composer.

About the Author
Albéniz, Isaac · (Camprodon,Spain 1860 - Cambó-les-bains, France 1909) A piano virtuoso and a composer whose works are a paradigm of Romanticism at its most exalted and powerful, Isaac Albéniz was constantly engaged in seeking a symbiosis between the exoticism of Spanish music and the most advanced tendencies of contemporary French music. In fact, he brought the nationalist aesthetic to universal heights with his great late works for piano, whose scope extends far beyond the folk-like anecdotal character of salon music.
