Arthur Rubinstein's Music of Spain is a stunning piano album that captures the essence of Spanish music in its entirety. Rubinstein's mastery of the keys is on full display as he navigates through the intricate melodies and rhythms of Spanish classics such as "Asturias" and "Granada."
The album is a testament to Rubinstein's deep appreciation and understanding of Spanish music. His interpretation of "Malagueña" is particularly noteworthy, as he manages to capture the raw passion and emotion that is characteristic of this flamenco-style piece.
Rubinstein's technical prowess is also evident in "Ritual Fire Dance," where he effortlessly navigates through the complex rhythms and fiery tempos of this piece. The album is a true masterpiece and is a must-have for anyone who appreciates classical piano music.
