We mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of the Spanish pianist and composer Enrique Granados, on 27 July 1867. Born in Lérida, Granados pursued his musical studies in Barcelona and then in Paris, returning to Barcelona in 1889. He won distinction as a pianist and popularity in Spain with his contributions to the zarzuela, a type of Spanish operetta. He has been variously described as “the Spanish Chopin”, “the last Romantic”, and by his compatriots as “our Schubert”. No single characterisation adequately describes his personality, since Granados had a distinctive voice that is instantly recognisable and entirely his own. We present here a selection of his works.
