This recording project is a journey through the piano literature from its beginnings. Unceasingly searching for timbres and colours, as part of a profound conception of music, Ambrosio Valero transports the listener from the grandeur of Bach’s organ to the recreation of the sounds of nature by Mompou and Granados.
