[Item Description] 4 Record set
Joan Massià (1890–1969) was a virtuoso violinist trained in Brussels by Alfred Marchot (himself a pupil of the legendary Eugène Ysaÿe). In his youth, Massià formed a magnificent duo with Blanche Selva – the French pianist who gave the première in Paris of Albéniz’s Iberia – and for some years they undertook intensive and successful concert tours throughout Europe. Many of Massià’s compositions were for the piano – he was a distinguished amateur pianist and a talented improviser. Composed in 1924, El gorg negre (The black pond) was his first piano piece, a miniature gem, descriptive in nature, with its origins in late Romanticism.
Blanche Selva was born in Brive-la-Gaillarde in Corrèze. As a child she studied piano with a number of teachers, took preparatory classes with Sophie Chéné, and was admitted to the Paris Conservatory in 1893.She studied with Alphonse Duvernoy and won a medal in competition, but left the Conservatory without graduating.
