The piano works of the Spanish pianist and composer Antonio Ruiz-Pipo, which GENUIN presents on a new release, are a real discovery. The superb French pianist Ali HirÃ¨che brings three world premiere recordings of the Granada-born composer, combining them with works by Ruiz-Pipo's admired compatriots Mompou and de Falla. The flawless playing of the young pianist let's us marvel at the ingenuity, the audacity, the bright colors of this music - which. In it's austerity and the questions it poses, makes us hear another Spain far removed from any tourist clichÃ©s. Born in Paris in 1976, Ali Hireche began studying music with the composer featured on this release- Antonio Ruiz-Pipo. By the age of 15 he moved to Italy to continue his musical journey at the Milan "Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi. He began performing both in recitals and as a soloist with orchestras across Italy, and went on to win several awards including the Concorso Internazionale Rovere D'Oro, the Premio della Critica al Concorso Europeo di Taranto, and more.
