This album brings together two prominent romantic piano cycles: Chopin's Preludes Op. 28 and Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. In the zone of tension between European art music and various eastern European traditions, both of these large-scale cycles are united by beautifully defined miniatures. Chopin, like Mussorgsky, had developed a highly personal musical language - they overlap to some extent on their individual paths to the modern era.

Granados dedicated the pieces of the suite to the greatest pianists of the time: Emil von Sauer, Eduard Risler, Ricardo Viñes, Harold Bauer, Alfred Cortot. His favourite, Quejas, was dedicated to his wife Amparo, who would die with him in the tragic sinking of the ship that was taking them back to Spain after the American success of his opera Goyescas, in 1916.
