CD & Book: booklet in French and English with photographs by Isabel Munoz

In the history of piano music, there are few examples of a cycle as vast as that of Iberia, an absolute masterpiece of Franco- Spanish music, written by the composer Isaac Albeniz at the start of the 20th century in Paris. Today the score stands out as the expression of a European composer who returned to a secret garden, that of Spain, his dream. Iberia is here performed by Jean-Francois Heisser, a specialist in this repertoire.

This CD-book incorporates photography to open the experience of Spanish music to a more universal perspective. Isabel Munoz examines the unique features of her native land from flamenco and tango, to bullfighting and architecture.
