    11.4.2011 - Granados

    1. The Maja and the Nightingale

    Early life, piano studies in Paris, major influences.

    2. The Flirtations

    Teaching and the attractions of education in Barcelona

    3. Dialogue at a Window

    Goyescas

    4. Love and Death

    Opera - and a real life operatic ending!

    5. The Ghost's Serenade

    The legacy
    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

    Ah! It’s back. Good. I thought I’d dreamed it.

    Yes, it’s about time we had Granados on CoW. I love what I know of his music which isn’t very much. I look forward to discovering more.

      Tchah! I thought I'd removed it before anyone noticed . Thought the five long chunks of text were a bit rebarbative, so I've reduced them to one-liners with a link to the R3 pages.

        Granados, how neglected in our recital rooms, great piano music and fabulous songs.
        Any mezzo looking for unusual material to delight her audience could not better the three Maja dolorosa songs played on today's programme and sung by Montserrat Caballe. There are equally, perhaps even finer versions by Teresa Berganza; utterly exquisite music.

          Immediately agree with Gradus.
          Therefore I think Granados would be served better with a complete, unabridged performance of his piano quintet in stead of the one included in this programme today.
