She was born in Barcelona, and began studying piano with Frank Marshall in Spain at age three. She performed her first concert at the age of six at the World's Fair in Seville in 1929, and had her orchestral debut at the age of 11. She began touring internationally in 1947, and in 1954 toured North America with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
De Larrocha has made numerous recordings of solo piano repertoire and she is generally seen as an advocate of Spanish works. She is best known for her recordings of the music of Enrique Granados and Isaac Albéniz, as well as her 1967 recordings of Antonio Soler's piano sonatas. She won her first Grammy Award in 1975 and again, as recently as 1992, at the age of almost seventy.
As De Larrocha aged, she began to play a different style of music. She was originally a Mozart player, but she wanted to spread Latin and Spanish music to the world. This is one reason why she is now best known for her recordings of Granados and Albeniz.
As of 1995, she was still active as a pianist, but conceded having to make adjustments with age. For a pianist her hands are small, her height is under 150 centimetres, but she has grown even smaller with age. This led to her having to quit playing Rachmaninoff.
She received the Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts in 1994.
Alicia de Larrocha died on 25 September 2009 in Quiron Hospital, Barcelona, aged 86. Culture Minister Angeles Gonzalez-Sinde said: "She was an extraordinary ambassador for Spain".

e’ commovente vedere come decine di donne ed uomini si raccolgano attorno ad un organo
per testimoniare la loro dedizione ad un’Arte suprema
fonte di gioia per loro stessi
e per l’umanità tutta....
ad essi va tutta la nostra riconoscenza in questi tempi oscurantisti....
Viva la Musica e le Arti tutte
AD MAIORA

If you put the time table with labels (titles) in the description (not in de comment section) and start with 00:00 instead of 0:08 all the pieces will appear in the progressing red bar.
The least you can do if you do not understand this is to pin this comment so it will appear as the first comment.
You're welcome.

Please create sections directly on the video, not in the comments! This would help so much in choosing the tempo or the section of the composition. Thank you!🙏🏻

Hi Ms Mac N
@rosmarinaus
my 8 year old daughter wanted me to comment that she thinks this is beautiful music. I agree.
@chad9015
You're raising her right, good job haha

My 8 year old daughter thinks classical music is boring. And for her, "classical music" includes The Rolling Stones.
@massimocampostrini8718
The best way for a child to appreciate classical music is to play or sing it.
