Recuerdos de viaje
Sonata no.5 Esteban Sanchez is one of Spains best-kept secrets. In his young years he built up an impressive international career, but later he retreated to his homeland, to teach and enjoy life. Alfred Cortot called him A musical genius of the 20-th century and Daniel Barenboim said: How is it possible that Spain has hidden away a performer of such class? Especially in the music of his compatriots Esteban Sanchez revealed his genius, in his unique command over colouring and rhythm, timing and imagination. This set offers his legendary recordings from the seventies for the Spanish Ensayo label, in music of Isaac Albeniz, including of course his towering performance of Iberia , one of the greatest and most demanding piano cycles of the 20-th century.
