In this episode, we explore the life and work of Enrique Granados, one of the most distinguished Spanish composers of his time. An extraordinary pianist, Granados developed a musical language that combines harmonic sophistication, folk inspiration, and profound sensitivity. Throughout the episode, we also examine the curious fate of his compositions—often better known in their guitar transcriptions than in their original piano versions—and reflect on questions of authenticity, transcription, and interpretation in classical music. His life, tragically cut short during the First World War, left behind a legacy that remains among the most beautiful and imaginative in Spanish music.
