'Alma Española' is a collaboration of the multiple GRAMMY Award winners Sharon Isbin and Argentinian-American Isabel Leonard.

The collaboration of Leonard and Isbin brings together one of today’s brightest vocal stars, heard on the stages of the Metropolitan, Vienna State and Paris Operas, with Isbin who is acclaimed as ‘the pre-eminent guitarist of our time’.

'Alma Española' includes twelve world premiere arrangements by Isbin. Duos for voice & guitar by García Lorca, de Falla, Lara, Montsalvatge and Rodrigo, and guitar solos by Granados and Tárrega, are heard in performances that evoke the rich and magnificent tradition of Spain.
