I met Pedro at West End Cafe (in Washington, DC) years ago when he played some Chopin for me, then ran to his nearby apartment to get me his album. He's still outstanding!
Anyone heard Marc-André Hamelin play Albéniz? Totally different interpretation and the only recording I've ever been able to find. It's great to hear this guy do it slower and with just as much interest, gives me some hope:P
Heard him play all 4 books of Iberia live in Philly. An AMAZING pianist, but wasn't terribly Spanish in character...I like this performance better..Check out Alicia De Larrocha as well!
Eh...what about Alicia De Larrocha? I will say he's good he doesn't play it superfast. Even though there's some insecurities and struggles (who won't?), I find his character and tempo very consistent.
love it

I appreciate that life for you must be difficult, what with your 'condition' etc, but really, such forums as this don't need your kind..
Now go away and breath someone else's air please. Your stench is becoming tiresome..

This is my favorite movement of the whole Iberia suite.
The last two minutes of this piece are so hauntingly beautiful.
