Enrique Granados

Enrique Granados (1867 - 1916) was a Spanish pianist and classical composer. He mainly wrote music for piano but were then transcribed for classical guitar.

His 12 Spanish dances are a case in point and here is Dance No 3 which is well known as a guitar piece being played on the piano.

Granados was tragically drowned with his wife when he was crossing the English Channel by a ferry during WW1 which was torpedoed by a German submarine.

The recording below is an arrangement of his Spanish Dance No 5 by the English Guitar Quartet. When we owned Provender Delicatessen we sponsored a concert by them in the Parret Music Festival where I first heard Granados works.

Granados discography can be found here.
