Description
During his lifetime Enrique Granados was highly valued above all for the poetry of his piano playing – and his compositions also breathe the same poetic spirit. Stephen Marchionda honours the
composer on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of his birth with a highly personal selection from these works.
His own arrangements for the guitar create an illuminating link to Granados’ roots in Spanish folklore.
Stephen Marchionda has emerged on the international concert scene as a performer who combines the expressive, colourist playing of the past with a modern technique, flair, imagination and scholarship. In highly acclaimed performances he has recently been featured at London's Wigmore Hall and New York City's Carnegie Hall (Aranjuez Series).
Gramophone Magazine said of his last release: "Impeccable artistry and eloquence - Stephen Marchionda is always convincing." - CRITIC 146;S CHOICE
