Charles Richard-Hamelin - Chopin, Granados & Albeniz: Echos - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Charles Richard-Hamelin continues his exploration of the works of Chopin, combining them with rare Spanish works composed at the turn of the 19th century. Frederic Chopin, Isaac Albeniz and Enrique Granados were all virtuoso pianists whose music is characterized by rich melody, refined harmony and fantasy. The pieces that make up this program echo each other by interweaving poetry and dance through both familiar and obscure melodies. Album Tracks 1. Valses Poéticos, Op. 43~Introducción. Vivace molto 2.
