Granados and Albéniz - Piano Music

"One tends to think of Spanish piano music as fleeting or Impressionistic and much of it is, though contemporaries Granados and Albeniz have still built up those glimpses of their homeland into large-scale sequences - Granados's 'Goyescas' and Albeniz's massive 'Iberia'. Yet Martin Jones's lavish and immaculately shaded accounts never once lose concentration. At a bargain price, this set is a joy. Duncan Hadfield for The Independent

"Martin Jones penetrates the ethos of these pieces (Iberia) with a natural feeling for their Spanish atmosphere, and he has sufficient confidence in his own special insights to offer an individual reading with pianism that is brilliantly coloured, rhythmically charismatic and often quite magical in its gentle evocation."
