      Audience Member The music from Isaac Albéniz has a special taste. It could be pretended basically in genre of European classical music of middle ages which is tasted with Flamenco and has some spices of Arabic music (Appearance of mini-tones which is a characteristic of music of middle east). Scenery sequences of choreography with presence of talented dancers and famous musicians has prepared a successful documentary which is magnificent and touches one's soul.
