ISASI, ANDRES  

Largely neglected now as a composer, Andrés Isasi was born in Bilbao and in 1910 moved to Berlin to study with Karl Kampf and Humperdinck. He acquired some ability in the handling of larger musical forms, including the symphonic poem, which was being coolly received in Spain but enjoying more success abroad.

Orchestral Vocal and Instrumental Music

Isasi wrote two symphonies, three orchestral suites, and five symphonic poems, with a Piano Concerto, pieces for piano and for choir, and a large number of songs. His compositions reflect his musical training and Basque influence of his own country.
