I believe this was from a recital in Japan.

  • @Malcolm64 of course her playing is that quality, she is THE goddess of this music :)

  • I believe having large hands is more of a hindrance than an asset in this work, b/c there are places where the hands are literally on top of each other.

    Which is why I think Alicia's versions are vastly superior to everyone else's (including Hamelin). This music (like Goyescas) was practically written just for her...

  • I am glad that this great music are played....great perfomance!

  • Hamelin is a great pianist but in my opinion lacks the rythmic understanding and vitality as well as the contrapunctual aspects of this wonderful music. De larrocha and Arrau play these pieces the best !!!

  • I'm a very big fan of Hamelin - he is a great pianist - but his playing of Iberia, although certainly masterful, has made me appreciate even more De Larrocha's colossal achievement in this work. Her clarity of texture (in the face of the thickest piano writing ever) and rhythmic acuity in Iberia have not been equaled.

  • extraordinary work by pianist Hamelin on this work Iberia by spanish author Isaac Albéniz written between 1905-09

  • thanks, tompilk, an excellent work

    a warm greeting
