The Mountains of Northern Spain
Towards the end of the 19th century, composer Isaac Albéniz helped forge a national style of music in his native Spain, mostly through his expressive and colorful piano pieces. We hear a lesser-known but no less charming work called "Espagne" (Souvenirs), which evokes Debussy with its melancholy impressions of northern Spain in the second movement, "Asturias."
