Description:
Iberia was originally a suite for piano composed by Isaac Albéniz (1860-1909) between 1905 to 1909, published in four books comprised of 3 movements each. Albéniz wrote these in an impressionistic style to evoke Spain. After Albéniz attempted to arrange the pieces for orchestra, he became impatient and enlisted his friend and conductor Enrique Fernández Arbós to do the arrangement. Arbós arranged five of the pieces: Evocation (Evocación), Fête-dieu à Séville, Triana, El Puerto and El Albaicín. Evocation combines elements of the southern Spanish fandango and the northern Spanish jota song forms. It is one of three that were recorded by Arbós in 1928. Instrumentation: 3(3rd d.Picc).2+EH.2+BCl.2: 4.2.3.0: Timp:Perc(2): Hp: Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set). Reprint edition.
