Granados Goyescas no.1 Concert Recording

[daniele1234]

Hi, everyone, hope you're all well and (hopefully!) enjoying some heat wherever you may be. Anyway, last night I performed for the first time at a public space (i.e. concert), the first piece from the Goyescas suite by Granados (played on a Steinway D grand piano). The piece isn't quite polished yet and still has a few technical obstacles (large quick awkward leaps mostly), but is held together fairly well and I hope you will find you enjoy it. Tone quality is always a hard one with Granados: because the piece has such a wide pallet of colours and deep rich sounds, but at the same time the Spanish background of the music also 'requires' it to be fairly hard in sound, like a plucked guitar string in the staccato sections (which is hard because a guitar has a resonance completely different to a piano). Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and all feedback and comments appreciated

Thank you.

Enjoyed it very much! Very well played, I admire the way you manage to keep 'dancing' gracefully through all these millions of notes. Sounds very joyful and expressive, just as it should!

Hi! Sounds great as always. The only little critisism I have is that I think some places you could have played a bit lighter. Otherwise, great job! (Btw, I would really love to listen to your Chopin sonata sometime
