Alicia de Larrocha y de la Calle (23 May 1923 – 25 September 2009) was a Spanish pianist and composer. She was considered one of the great piano legends of the 20th century.[1] Reuters called her "the greatest Spanish pianist in history",[2] Time "one of the world's most outstanding pianists",[3] and The Guardian "the leading Spanish pianist of her time".[4]

She won four Grammy Awards, out of fourteen nominations, and a Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts. She is credited with bringing greater popularity to the compositions of Isaac Albéniz and Enrique Granados.[2] In 1995, she became the first Spanish artist to win the UNESCO Prize.[4]
