The suite is followed by "Seis piezas sobre cantos populares españoles," featuring the lively "Zapateado," and the enchanting "Ochos valses poéticos," a set of eight poetic waltzes that range from the elegant "Melodioso" to the spirited "Presto."
The album concludes with the virtuosic "Allegro de concierto, Op. 46," a dazzling display of Granados' compositional prowess. Throughout the album, Granados' deep connection to Spanish folklore and his innovative approach to piano composition shine through, making this a compelling exploration of one of the most influential figures in Spanish music. Whether you're a longtime fan of Granados or a newcomer to his work, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience.
