About — The artist
Isaac Manuel Francisco Albéniz y Pascual (Camprodón, Gerona, 29 May 1860 – Cambo-les-Bains, 18 May 1909), better known as Isaac Albéniz, was a celebrated Spanish composer and pianist, a pupil of Felipe Pedrell. Thanks to the support of Guillermo Morphy, Count of Morphy, a composer and patron of the arts, he obtained a scholarship to study at the Brussels Conservatory in 1876, and completed his studies in 1879.
As a virtuoso pianist-composer, Isaac Albéniz also wrote music for other instruments. He devoted more than a decade of his almost forty-nine years of life to writing works for the theatre — such as his most successful operatic work, Pepita Jiménez — and he also performed in concerts and oversaw the recording of his opera Merlín. Over the course of his career he wrote songs — more than two dozen — as well as several orchestral and chamber works.
Isaac Albéniz's personal archive is held at the Biblioteca de Cataluña and at the Museu de la Música de Barcelona, which holds the donation made by the composer's granddaughter (it includes biographical documentation, original manuscript copies and personal objects). A "Fundación Albéniz", with seats in Madrid and Santander, is currently chaired by Paloma O'Shea.
