ISAAC ALBENIZ 1860 - 1909
MALLORCA

This version of Albeniz's piano work Mallorca is adapted from the flute and guitar transcription by Georges Lambert and Yvon Rivoal. In all three recordings presented here, the flute part is played on guitar an octave lower than the pitch of the flute and the accompaniment is split between two guitars. However, on the first recording, the melody is augmented by an electronically-generated oboe and on the second by an electronically-generated flute. The third recording is simply the three guitars.
The landscape image was taken in the Mallorcan town of Fornalutx by the very talented photographer Veronica Watson. More of her beautiful images can be seen by following this link.
