Description: A handful of songs and a bouquet of piano pieces from perhaps the two most famous Basque priest-composers (whom you’ll recognize from releases of their orchestral music in Claves’ long-running series). Donostia combined Basque folk music with French Impressionist techniques and Madina amplified the folk music aspects while following his colleague stylistically otherwise. Basque texts. Arantza Ezenarro (soprano), Juan Carlos Rodriguez (piano).
