GRANADOS: Goyescas, Valses Poéticos

CD GRANADOS: Goyescas, Valses Poéticos Luis Fernando Pérez

The ‘Goyescas’ of Enrique Granados, inspired by the Madrid of Goya's time which the painter immortalised with his marvellous palette of colours, is - along with ‘Iberia’ by Issac Albéniz - one of the two great solo piano cycles of Spanish music. It represents both the peak of Granados' career as composer and performer and his most important contribution to the classical repertoire as a whole.
Born in 1977 in Madrid, Luis Fernando Perez studied with Dimitri Bashkirov, Alicia de Larrocha and Pierre-Laurent Aimard. As you might expect his forte is Spanish music especially that of Granados, Albeniz and de Falla. His last record for Mirare was dedicated to the sonatas of the baroque Spanish composer Antonio Soler, where all the sonatas were revised from the original manuscripts and which contains an unpublished sonata. It was awarded the ‘Exceptional Record’ prize from Spanish magazine, ‘Scherzo.’
