New album featuring all the works Enrique Granados composed inspired by Goya's world, including the popular suite "Los Majos Enamorados" and other related works such as Crepúsculo, Jácara, Serenata Goyesca, Ensoñación-Improvisation, and the famous El Pelele. This recording is based on the Boileau Musica edition of "Goyescas," conducted by Alicia De Larrocha, with whom Alex Alguacil had the opportunity to study for several years, working on the Spanish piano repertoire in general and some of the works presented on this CD. The booklet includes an article written by Alguacil himself in which he analyzes the works on this recording, reviewing the themes and leitmotifs of the suite "Los Majos Enamorados" while connecting its musical transformation with the emotional development of this piano drama.
