Professor Iñaki Alberdi was awarded first prizes at the Coupe Mondiale (Colmar, 1994), the International Accordionist and Bayanist Competition (Moscow, 1995) and the Music Competition for Youth (Valladolid, 1996). He was recently nominated for the Gramophon Editor’s Choice Award for his monographic record on Sofia Gubaidulina and has recorded for Stradivarius, Kairos, Verso, Et’Cetera, and the National Spanish Orchestra labels. One of Iñaki Alberdi’s constant focuses as an accordion player has been to provide the instrument with a repertoire that it lacked, given its recent incorporation into the world of academic concerts.
