Miguel Baselga was an esteemed Spanish classical pianist celebrated for his comprehensive interpretations of the works of Iberian composers, particularly those by Isaac Albéniz. Baselga dedicated a significant portion of his career to studying and performing Albéniz's compositions, as evidenced by his expansive project to record the composer's complete piano works. This ambitious endeavor resulted in a series of highly acclaimed albums that showcased Baselga's deep affinity for Albéniz's music, his nuanced touch, and his profound understanding of the Spanish musical idiom.

Born on October 18, 1961, in Zaragoza, Spain, Baselga's piano playing was marked by clarity, lyrical expressiveness, and an impeccable technical mastery. Over the years, his contribution to classical music extended beyond the Albéniz repertoire. He explored and recorded works by other Spanish composers, such as Roberto Gerhard, whose piece "La noche de San Juan" was among his releases. Baselga's passion for bringing to light lesser-known pieces of his homeland's musical heritage earned him a distinguished place in the world of classical music. Regrettably, the piano community mourned his passing on March 31, 2021, leaving behind a legacy woven with the rich tapestries of Spanish piano music.
