I enjoyed listening to your rendition which has a lot of "Spanish flavor"  ;D 
THANKS... for bringing back memories of my son trying to play this piece when
he was so much younger.

Thank you @emill and @dcstudio for your kind words and for listening!

@emill, it actually brings me also memories from childhood, not that I played the piece back then, but a piece that has been part of my life for a long time!

@dcstudio, glad to have brought it back to you! I think the world needs a bit more of Granados ;)

Indeed the world does need more Granados and I look forward to when the piano concerto recording is released.

The performance posted here is completely divine. It is how I would play it if I could, but I can't and there is no point dreaming when I am too lazy to pracitice. Still, I must admit I do prefer this work on the guitar.

Hoping Maitea records the Serenta Espanola by Malats as it is cut from the same cloth.

Top marks.
