Andrés Alén (b.1950)
Andrés Alén Rodríguez, one of the most talented pianists to come out of Cuba in the second half of the 20th century, was born in Havana on 7 October 1950 and now lives in Madrid, where he teaches piano at the Escuela de Música Creativa and at the Universidad Alfonso X el Sabio (UAS), as well as continuing to compose Cuban music. His compositions move between a number of different spheres, including classical, jazz and Cuban and Latin-American popular music.
Grand Piano has gained a reputation for producing high quality recordings of rare keyboard gems. Dedicated to the exploration of undiscovered piano repertoire, the label specialises in complete cycles of piano works by many lesser-known composers, whose output might otherwise have remained unknown and unrecorded.
