Granados may refer to:
Enrique Granados Campiña (27 July 1867 – 24 March 1916) was a Spanish pianist and composer of classical music. His music is in a uniquely Spanish style and, as such, is representative of musical nationalism.
Enrique Granados Campiña was born in Lleida, Spain, the son of Calixto Granados, a Spanish army captain, and Enriqueta Campiña. As a young man he studied piano in Barcelona, where his teachers included Francisco Jurnet and Joan Baptista Pujol. In 1887 he went to Paris to study. He was unable to become a student at the Paris Conservatoire, but he was able to take private lessons with a conservatoire professor, Charles-Wilfrid de Bériot, whose mother, the soprano Maria Malibran, was of Spanish ancestry. Bériot insisted on extreme refinement in tone production, which strongly influenced Granados’s own teaching of pedal technique. He also fostered Granados's abilities in improvisation. Just as important were his studies with Felip Pedrell. He returned to Barcelona in 1889. His first successes were at the end of the 1890s, with the opera Maria del Carmen, which attracted the attention of King Alfonso XIII.
Fernando Pérez may refer to:
Alicia de Larrocha i de la Calle (23 May 1923 – 25 September 2009) was a Spanish pianist from Catalonia. One of the great piano legends of the 20th century, Reuters called her "the greatest Spanish pianist in history",Time "one of the world's most outstanding pianists" and The Guardian "the leading Spanish pianist of her time".
She won multiple Grammy Awards 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. In 1995, she became the first Spanish artist to win the UNESCO Prize.
Alicia de Larrocha was born in Barcelona. She began studying piano with Frank Marshall at the age of three. Both her parents were pianists and she was also the niece of pianists. Beginning her career at the age of three, she gave her first public performance at the age of five at the International Exposition in Barcelona. She performed her first concert at the age of six at the World's Fair in Seville in 1929, and had her orchestral debut at the age of 11. By 1943, her performances were selling out in Spain. She began touring internationally in 1947, and in 1954 toured North America with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In 1969, de Larrocha performed in Boston for the Peabody Mason Concert series.

Two lovely -- and very different -- performances of the Valses Poéticos. Grosvenor plays these as improvisatory waltzes with a poetic element; Pérez, as poetic pieces with some waltz-like elements. While apparently simple, the Valses Poéticos are gems of craftsmanship: in Valse No.1 the harmonies are nudged just ever-so-slightly ajar from what we’d expect, for instance, Valses Nos.4-5 really turn out to be a pair of mazurkas (or something very similar), and the coda which begins as a spryly chromatic 6/8 Presto winds down and resolves – suddenly and beautifully – into a complete literal reprise of Valse No.1, bringing the suite full circle. In Grosvenor’s playing the rhythms are taut, the articulation razor-sharp, the faster passages sleek and sparkling [see the Vivo, for instance]. He’s ...
from Spanish Dances, No. 2 Welte Mignon piano roll
An enthralling performance of one of the most expressive masterpieces in the piano literature. Many people are familiar with de Larrocha’s rhythmic vigor, but her student here displays an utterly idiomatic and strangely bewitching approach to such music – rich with rhythmic suppleness and delicate voicing, where key changes are treated as moments of ecstasy rather than just elements of structure or colouration. There is something dark and glittering that runs like a vein through of Perez’s playing, and a sumptuous sense of freedom that’s probably warranted in this music – music that’s almost absurdly in love the sound of its expression, whose complications only become more improvisatory (in the best sense) as they knot and thicken, and whose rhythmic flights are buried under so much harmo...

Enrique Granados' temperamental Goyesca No. 1 'Los Requiembros', played by the Cuban genius virtuoso pianist Jorge Luis Prats. Unfortunately, the piano he played in this performance was a bit harsh, but still these are some of the best performances of these works I've ever heard.
Enrique Joaquín Granados y Campiña (1867-1916): Valses poéticos (1899). Alicia de Larrocha, piano. Preludio (00:00) 1. Melodioso (01:07) 2. Tempo de Valse noble (02:41) 3. Tempo de Valse lente (03:58) 4. Allegro umoristico (05:54) 5. Allegretto (06:36) 6. Quasi ad libitum (07:47) 7. Vivo (09:11) 8. Presto (09:57) Los Ocho valses poéticos de Enrique Granados, compuestos en Barcelona en 1899, componen una de las suites más conocidas y más románticas del autor. Granados, durante sus primeras (e incluso más tardías) composiciones, denotó un gran interés por el piano romántico del momento, y en algunas de sus obras se perciben características melódicas de Chopin o Schumann. Catalogados como obra 10 entre las del compositor, se trata de frutos juveniles, puede ser que de 1887. En realidad...
Blasse Stirn im Nachtlicht
Gekrönt und ungehalten
Meiner Welt verschwig dich
Dafür sei dein was atmet
Aus deiner Schläfe
wird ein dunkler Geist zum Himmel fahren
So schön und unergründbar,
traurig wie das Leben, das dich treibt
Und dennoch bleibt mein Herz, mein Sehnen
lass die Engel untergehen
Mein Herz, mein Sehnen
werden mich zu Sternen heben
Mein Herz, mein Sehnen
dass die Himmel mir begegnen
Mein Herz, mein Sehnen
Atem stirbt und die Erinnerung - vergeht
Hohl erkling der Ort hier
Staub liegt in leeren Brunnen
Ein Geschick aus Ton nur
Ungeliebt zur Welt gekommen
Fall wie der Regen fällt
und tränke meine nackten Arme
So schön und unergründbar,
traurig wie das Leben, das dich treibt
Vom Rand der Welt
erklingt das Beben in der Zeit
So viele stürzten mich
