March Of The Defeated - Enrique Granados CD

Product Description GRANADOS, E.: Orchestral Works, Vol. 1 - Suite sobre cantos gallegos / Torrijos (Barcelona Symphony and Catalonia National Orchestra, Gonzalez) - Although he is best known as the composer of some of the greatest masterpieces of Spanish piano music, Enrique Granados also wrote a much less well-known sequence of orchestral music. The cinematic Marcha de los vencidos evokes the painful trudging of the defeated in an unspecified battle, while the incidental music for the play Torrijos demonstrates Granadoss talent for lyrical writing and his love of the stage. The ambitious Suite sobre cantos gallegos uses Galician folk melodies and dance rhythms to reflect the landscapes of the region. This is the first recording in a series marking the centenary of Granadoss death. Review "A highly effective orchestral March and Finale neatly set off the vocal elements (and, thankfully, here the texts are included). Granados is best known for his piano suite, Goyescas, and the opera into which he subsequently expanded the piano pieces - itself a testimony to his interest in and attraction to the stage. The rarely heard works performed by the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra under Pablo Gonzlez make the composers stage focus clear as well." --Infodad, March 10, 2016Additional Info: Personnel: David Exit (vocals); Kid Stone (guitar).
