Iberia: Piano Music from Spain & Portugal

[phikfy]

Luiza Borac's latest recordings of Lipatti's piano works include L's re-writing of Albeniz's Navarra, which sounds very nice indeed. Does anyone know the way to acquire this score? Thanks in advance.

Best,
Koon

Does anyone have a scan to share of the Third Impromptu (Op39) of Granados. G. Schirmer published this in 1914 and I'm sure there are other editions. There seem to be some "double-booked' opus numbers, of which this is one being also assigned to the Capricho Español. Thanks.

Thanks, but I'm looking for the Impromptu which also shares the opus 39 designation.

Juli Garreta. Born 1875, died 1925. catalan composer. Entirely self taught in piano and composition. Wrote a large number of "sardanas", a Catalan national dance; whilst his friendship with Casals stimulated several larger works for orchestra. I've posted his only piano sonata

Garreta J - Piano Sonata in C minor.pdf

[with thanks to Mr P and Rob].

Is there any chance of the score for "Sardana" by this composer - the one played here by Blanche Selva?

I guess I have to answer my own request. The "Sardana" played by Blanche Selva happens to be one of the movements of the Sonata in C minor by this composer.

Thanks anyway,

Iturbi, José
(b Valencia, 28 Nov 1895; d Hollywood, CA, 28 June 1980).

Jose Iturbi and children at the piano.jpg

Spanish pianist and conductor. He studied at the Valencia Conservatory and then with Victor Staub at the Paris Conservatoire, where he gained a premier prix in piano in 1913. During World War I he played in Swiss cafés, then taught at the Geneva Conservatoire, 1919–23. Extensive tours followed. He first played in the USA (where he settled) in 1928; in 1930 he gave 77 concerts on one American tour. In 1936 he was appointed conductor of the Rochester PO, a post he held for several seasons. His connection with films began when his fingers impersonated Chopin’s in A Song to Remember; he then appeared in several more films. He was the most famous Spanish pianist of his day, with a large popular following; in 1950 he became the first classical musician whose sales of a single record exceeded a million copies. Some critics held reservations about his Beethoven and Chopin, but his playing of the music of his native land was idiomatic, ebullient and vital. Iturbi composed a number of pieces in a Spanish idiom, including the Pequeña danza española for piano and a Seguidillas for orchestra. His sister Amparo (1898–1969), with whom he often performed, was also a pianist.
