Description:

A masterpiece full of young sensitivity and passion, finally reissued again! The young pianist passionately performs this piano work by Albeniz, which is rich in Spanish folkloric colors. Before taking on this work, Fukuma says that he visited Spain himself and accumulated inspiration by going to the lands featured in the piece, breathing their air, and experiencing the local culture and people. This CD includes not only the complete suite "Iberia," but also pieces that Albéniz had originally planned to include in the suite, but changed his plans at short notice and did not incorporate into the suite. His performances of Albéniz's works have resonated with audiences, as he carefully expresses the spirit that lies deep within each of the scores that Albéniz wrote.The long-awaited reissue of Albéniz's "Iberia" is a remarkable re-release, beautifully expressed with a sincere attitude and passion for the work and a further refined technique!
