Enrique Iturriaga

During his three-year residence in Peru, Canadian pianist Nikolai Maloff discovered the music of contemporary Peruvian composer Enrique Iturriaga. Written in an expressive and hauntingly beautiful style that combines European, folk, and indigenous elements, Iturriaga''s music later became the subject of Maloff''s doctoral research at the University of British Columbia. The result of Maloff''s work is this book – an introduction to the life and works of Enrique Iturriaga.
