Summary

"Iberia" is a classical album by pianist Rosa Torres-Pardo, featuring the compositions of Isaac Albéniz. This 2-CD set, released by Glossa in 2006, captures the essence of Spanish classical music through Albéniz's suite for piano. The album includes a live performance recorded in Albéniz's hometown of Camprodón in Catalonia, offering a consistent and unconventional interpretation of the work. The slower tempos and emphasis on the Impressionist elements over flamenco rhythms present a reflective and intimate rendition of "Iberia," inviting listeners to experience Spain through a nostalgic and nocturnal lens.
