My God... Lavapiés really is a masterpiece... I still can't get tired of it despite having listened to it for countless times
Excellent XIX century Spanish romantic music by that react Catalonian composer Albeniz
@@op-th1yx many sources state that Albeniz's nationality was Spanish, what is your argument for him being Catalonian?
@@dzordzszs Catalonia is an area in Spain. He is Spanish, but Catalonian is the most accurate answer

If he was from Salamanca, he would be Salmantino.
If he was from Ciudad Rodrigo, he would be Mirobrigense.
If he is from Catalunya, then he is Catalan.
Therefore, I do not understand your objection to the "gentilicio" ( demonym ).
Please check out French pianist Yvonne Loriod's performance of Lavapies in her interview with Bernard Gavoty. It's fiery and her rubato is beautiful. I don't know why but many pianists play it slower.
A very good friend of mine used to play this piece back then when I was at the conservatory. What a delight to ear it many years after!
