^ Thanks. I thought Albéniz deserved it. In the last quarter of the 19th century and the first of the 20th, after a very long time being in a disastrous musical situation since the early Baroque, finally there were again Spanish musicians of International renown (Albéniz, Granados, Tárrega, Falla, Sarasarte, Joaquín Rodrigo, etc.).

Albéniz is perhaps the best known amongst the Classical music lovers, but due to our chronic lack of Classical-music culture in a popular level (contrary to what happens in Central and Eastern Europe), he's not as known in his native country as he should be.
