| Liebestraum S541 | Franz Liszt (1811 - 1886) |
| No. 3 | |
| Gulliver Poole, Piano | |
| Liebestraum, or Love Dream, is a set of three solo piano pieces that were originally conceived as lieder, but then arranged for piano. Number 3 is the most famous of these, based on a poem by Freiligrath that demands one should love as strongly and for as long as they possibly can, because one day that love will be gone. | |
| Bachiana Brasileira no.4 | Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887 - 1959) |
| 2nd movement: Coral (Canto do Sertão) | |
| Ricardo Roche Idini, Piano | |
| Bachiana Brasileira no.4 is the first piece of my compilation of Ibero-America music. Bachiana Brasileira no.4 was written initially for piano and then two years later transcript for orchestra. The Coral: Canto do Sertão (Chorale: Song of the Sertão)is the second movement of this work which was inspired by the Brazilian folk music from the northern part of the Latin-American country. | |
| 12 Spanish dances (12 Danzas Españolas) | Enrique Granados (1867 - 1916) |
| No.5 Andaluza | |
| Ricardo Roche Idini, Piano | |
| 12 Spanish dances is the second work of my Ibero-America music compilation. The 12 dances are inspired in the typical music and dances from different regions of Spain. Andaluza is the fifth dance of the work and it was inspired by the music from Andalucia, which is very rhythmic and the left hand in the piano tries to make a similar way of how the flamenco guitar would play it. | |
