Ali Hireche Ventanas A..

The piano works of the Spanish pianist and composer Antonio Ruiz-Pipó, which Genuin presents on a new CD, are a real discovery. The superb French pianist Ali Hirèche brings three world premiere recordings of the Granada-born composer, combining them with works by Ruiz-Pipó's admired compatriots Mompou and de Falla. The flawless playing of the young pianist lets us marvel at the ingenuity, the audacity, the bright colors of this music - which. In its austerity and the questions it poses, makes us hear another Spain far removed from any tourist clichés.
