And Iturbi's passion wasn't just for music: he completed 1,400 hours of flying as a pilot, enjoyed riding motorcycles fast, and excelled as an amateur boxer! This edition is a tribute to an era when classical music from films made its journey around the world.
It contains all the recordings made by José Iturbi and his sister Amparo Iturbi for RCA Victor from 1933 to 1955, painstakingly restored and remastered from the original records and tapes, including numerous previously unreleased recordings. The 188-page coffee-table book includes a detailed biographical essay by "Ambassador for the American Songbook" Michael Feinstein, extensive documentation with photographs and facsimiles from the José Iturbi Foundation archives, and a complete session and release discography. 10 For 2 Pianos And Orchestra In E-flat Major K 365 (316a).
