Isaac Albéniz Asturias Editeur: Ullrich Scheideler Ce sont surtout les éléments provenant de la danse et son coloris espagnol qui rendent la musique de piano d?Albéniz proprement irrésistible. Asturias combine ces éléments avec le plus grand raffinement. Parue pour la première fois en 1892 dans la suite Chants d?Espagne sous le titre de Prélude (HN 782), et reparue en 1901, puis intégrée sous le titre Asturias à la Suite Espagnole (HN 783), cette pièce devint très rapidement l?une des oeuvres les plus appréciées du compositeur. Qui ne connaît pas ces mystérieuses sonorités de guitare évoquant une scène de flamenco en Andalousie? Nous publions cette pièce maintes fois arrangée dans sa version originale Urtext pour piano solo ? désormais aussi en édition séparée et à un prix tout à fait avantageux.

Arrangeur : Nicolas Herrouët « Nicolas HERROUËT, baritoniste du Quatuor de Saxophones Ellipsos, propose une nouvelle version de la partition « Asturias », extrait de la Suite Espagnole d’Isaac ALBENIZ pour piano à l’origine et rendue célèbre par la version guitare. C’est à titre posthume que l’éditeur intègre ce mouvement à la Suite dont chaque mouvement évoque le style d’une région d’Espagne. « Asturias » en devriendra alors l’extrait le plus connu, avec ses notes piquées et répétées inspirées du flamenco andalous. Cet arrangement (première partition éditée dans la collection « Quatuor Ellipsos » aux éditions Billaudot), est une pure merveille et j’en suis sûr, comblera tous les amateurs du genre. Je tiens à féliciter le « Quatuor Ellipsos » pour son action et lui souhaite avec mes plus vifs encouragements, beaucoup de succès.

Padre Antonio Soler (1729-1783) was an Catalan polymath and composer who composed over 100 Keyboard Sonatas. Debate rages as to whether he studied under Scarlatti but he was definitely influenced by the latter’s music and contributed much to the development of European Organ Piano and Harpsichord music. Sonata por la Princesa de Asturias was one of his many works that had been lost but was found in a private collection and published in 1979 by the Spanish pianist and musicologist Antonio Baciero.

Par ALBENIZ ISAAC. A spell-binding exploration of the music of Spain, Fantasía Española features four exciting yet contrasting sections and challenging parts for all players. Three of Spain's most famous composers are represented in this medley arranged by Bob Phillips. The piece begins with an exciting, driving excerpt from 'Asturias (Leyenda)', by Isaac Albéniz, which, though written for piano, is most often heard on guitar. The setting of this section allows the violins and violas a display of virtuosity with its unrelenting rhythmic drive. Beautiful, lyric, and emotional, 'Tango in D,' also by Albéniz, will showcase the musicianship of the entire orchestra. Originally written for piano, the strings will shine in this second section of the arrangement. The third section is the slow and lyric, 'Adelita.' Drawn from the deep treasure of Spanish guitar music and written by the father of classical guitar, Francisco Tárrega, this piece is simply beautiful. The medley concludes with 'Danza Ritual del Fuego' from the ballet El Amor Brujo. Written by Manuel de Falla for full orchestra, the string setting drives to a fabulous and dramatic finish.(5:45) / Date parution : 2022-10-12/ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes

?One closes one?s eyes and is bedazzled by the sheer wealth of invention in this music!? The person who spoke so enthusiastically about Albéniz one of the founders of the Spanish national style was none other thanClaude Debussy. The ?Suite Espagnole? for Piano is surely his most popular work. It reflects the manifold rhythms and melodies of different Spanish regions and in the last piece even Cuba is represented. Themuch loved composition ?Asturias? was also included in the collection. This work now joins ?Iberia? and the ?Chants d?Espagne? in our much renowned series of Albéniz? Piano works.
