A marvelous recital by one of the greatest pianists in one her best, but by far only, repertoire, the treasure of Spanish piano music. Here I write for you the times and details of each Piece: Alicia de Larrocha. Recital. Program: Antonio Soler (1729-1783) 00:22 Sonata in g minor nr. 87 06:29 Sonata in D-flat Major nr. 88 Manuel de Falla (1876-1946) 11:38 ”Dance og the Neighbors” (Seguidillas) from ”The Three Cornered Hat” 14:56 ”The Miller’s Dance” (Farruca) from ”The Three Cornered Hat” Isaac Albéniz (1860-1909) 17:59 ”Evocación” nr. 1 from the suite ”Iberia”, 1. Volume 23:27 ”Triana” nr. 3 from the suite ”Iberia”, 2. Volume
I have truly fallen in love with Soler thanks to her very old dear recording of many of the 80 orso he wrote . Along, with his teacher Scarlatti the music has so much character it deserves never to be forgotten .
Thanks for sharing this wonderful recital. I never heard this recital before. AdL was an amazing pianist. She played works nobody else did. Still miss her on the concert stages of this world.🎹🙏💐
Qué belleza de música y qué artista. Alicia de Larrocha seguramente tocaba mejor Triana que como la tocó o imaginaba el propio Albéniz. Esta versión es insuperable 3:30
Such grace. Such elan. Here you have a genius. Pure and simple. Every touch weighted to perfection. I know Madame Larrocha believed, as Horowitz said, that ‘music was to be listened to, not watched’. But this is a priceless document to one of the world’s greatest artists. This is her selfless legacy to us. Bravo!
Ce n'est pas l'Alicia que je préfère. Bien sûr, elle connaît ce répertoire depuis si longtemps, l'ayant joué des milliers de fois (en particulier Iberia), que son récital a sûremenet fait plaisir aux auditeurs. Mais voilà, on la croirait un peu fatiguée. Tout ceci est un peu mécanique, automatique ; les nuances en partie gommées, la sensibilité retenue, ces œuvres si belles perdent une parite de leur charme envoûtant... Bornons-nous plutôt à écouter ses somptueux enregistrements !
A program would be nice! I recognize Scarlatti as the 1st 2 pieces? the fist 11:30 minutes of the program! Soler, (de) Falla, and Albeniz doesn't quite cover it...what's more did someone decide to play with the speeds, all of a sudden she's going crazy fast as if someone put the recording in high gear...really spoils the whole thing!
