Granados: Orchestral: Dante (symphonic Poem);
Cinco Piezas; Two excerpts Goyescas

Orquesta Filarmónica
de Gran Canaria
/ Adrian Leaper
Frances Lucey soprano
Nancy Fabiola Herrera mezzo

“A simmering first recording of Granados’ luscious Dante and strong performances of Goyescas and Piezas, all vividly recorded. Dante is a find, a two-part symphonic poem, the first section not quite Tchaikovskian, using luscious post-Wagnerian chromaticism which even brings voluptuous hints of Scriabin and early Schoenberg … When Francesca tells her story, there are even hints of Puccini. The vocal entry, beautifully prepared, is longingly and entreatingly sung by Herrera … How beautifully they introduce the bewitching highlight of Goyescas, ‘La maja y el ruiseinor’ ! simply and beautifully sung by Lucey. Anselm Ferrer’s orchestration of the Piezas sobre cantos populares re-creates the music in orchestral terms, to make an entertaining centrepiece in a first-class collection, richly recorded.” (Gramophone)
