Enrique Granados:
Goyescas - Los Majos Enamorados, Op. 11

Frederic Mompou:
Variations on a Theme of Chopin

The pieces represented on this CD are more than simply two important works of piano repertoire. They are a personal confession, a way to express my interest and love for Spain, where I spent a decade immersed in this colorful country’s daily life, culture and music. A lot has been written about Enrique Granados, especially during the last two years, which marked his death and birth anniversaries. The dimension and the depth of his creative genius is so immense that one can endlessly dive inside this intricate ocean. The cycle Goyescas which means “In the manner of Goya’ is the summit of Granados’s musical and compositional research and inventiveness. Under the title “Los majos enamorados” (The gallants in Love), the six pieces of the Suite portray Spain in the times of Francisco de Goya.

While reflecting on Goyescas I visited Prado Museum in Madrid often, looking for answers in the painting of Goya. I discovered the light and shadow, the ‘requiebros’, the gallants, love and death, the people, and many other inspiring elements. It is fascinating how Granados embraces Goya’s palette in vivid depictions and paints with sound a story of love which starts with the tonal, luminous and positive Requiebros (The Compliments) and is gradually obscured until reaching the Spectral Epilog where the tonal references are most diluted. Each revisit of Goyescas is a new adventure for me. It is constant exploration of new ways of expression, another attempt to reach liberty within structure which is such a distinctive characteristic of Granados’s music.
