Granados - Goyesca No. 1 'Los Requiebros' (Prats) Audio + Sheet music

[@akmediascope]

This is starting my day with such hope and beauty! HOW can I ever thank you for something so wonderful! I am starting a new flower business, there are challenges but I want the business to embrace elegance, beauty and hope-- this music is elegance, beauty and hope

[@NikiL2134]

How did the business go? :)

[@wpark1991]

I learned this piece about a decade ago... it's extremely difficult. I learned islamey years ago as well and I struggled the same amount as this piece. This piece is one of my top ten favorites of all time🙂 and the whole Goyescas suite and Granados are severely underrated and unfortunately still unknown to many :(

[@marinadela1361]

damn ur hot

[@danielharrington4342]

Beautiful and melodic... Why haven't I discovered this sooner? It's so lovely.

[@alchimie78]

The most beautiful piece in piano music

[@danielsignorini5845]

Enrique Granados! No habrá ninguno igual! Ninguno! Pura POESÍA sonora.

[@EmdrGreg]

With respect. Not the Spanish Chopin... The world's Granados.

[@tedpiano]

The world's Spanish Chopin 🤩

[@NOSEhow2LIV]

Certainly very fine, in fact the best i've yet heard from Prats;some of the elegant brilliance of the filigree is stunning and the overall shape and expression beautifully balanced. I'm surprose cos i've sometimes found him loud and clumsy;his live "El Pelele" on YT is full of mis-readings & negligence.This is a lovely surprise.

[@SpaceAgeOdyssey]

A Fine Performance Mr. Prats!

[@Andrea-hc4kz]

I've thought Allegro de Concierto was already difficult enough. But right after I saw this... Gosh. But I love both!

[@SCRIABINIST]

Granados has a pretty difficult writing in this piece. Very capricious and ornamental

[@Andrea-hc4kz]

@@SCRIABINIST i mean it's mad intricate🤩 yup, agree!

[@llcamus249]

Wonderful music, well played.

[@teddysears703]

Beautiful work

[@musiciansareoutthere328]

I am proud to share with you Granados' Goyescas in the historic performance from Amparo Iturbi. She played it for Granados when she was young. (Available in my channel)

[@chutdigadut]

I love discovering new amazing composers!

[@Andrea-hc4kz]

well Granados is now my new fave!

[@trajnamusiccpt]

Sempre fortissimo con indifferanza senza pieta... forgive my French. Is all Prats like this? You cannot blame the unfortunate piano for all the brutality that is going on in this track. The infinite tenderness and sensitivity of Granados is absent.

[@Kiarinadia]

+trajnamusiccpt Only the 2 or 3 indispensable passages of tender inflexion was softened. But thanks to the channel for sharing this interpretation and for the score also. I am sure he will be great in the Fandango de Candil...

[@ignaciohmon]

I'd not call this brutality. It's just...very intense. However, I find this tender and sensible at some parts. I don't know why is there so much criticism with Prats :(

[@ignaciohmon]

Okey, I have listened to other performances... XD And despite I find this a nice interpretation, maybe is too... "Chopinesque" a "virtuosic"? For example, I think that he ruined the part from 1:12 to 1:22, while Larrocha's and Pérez's performances are way more... spanish, and transmit better the impression that you are listening to the typical music from Aragón.

[@yafetpalomeque75]

It's actually Italian not French. And a rendition has always two points of view, the author's and the performer's. There's nothing wrong with that. My comment is without bad intention, just an opinion.

[@HenryAlvarezMusic]

Hermosa! :)

[@Jim341046]

Awesome playing

[@hsuelliott8056]

best of ever

[@gabrielgabriel8096]

GRANDIOSO!!!

[@포포몬쓰-r5m]

fantastic!!!!

[@alvaronatera6290]

This is Classic Spanish Music

[@milgaru]

oh hey... this is actually pretty good

[@pianoredux7516]

Nobody here seems to have noticed that Prats octave-doubled some of the downbeat bass notes toward the climax of the piece. Not criticizing, it's a powerful performance.

[@monica21rm]

Preciosa *-*

[@MehdiD.Ardebili]

Wow! I see why he is called the "Spanish Chopin" with Liszt pyrotechnics!!!

[@Wizard0726]

It’s quite difficult 😢 I’ve been struggling with this for eight months 😢😢

[@jean-francois.chemila]

effectivement, il y a un relief et une poésie incroyable, du niveau de Larrocha.

[@peter5.056]

The trick to playing this piece, is having two people at the piano when it's being performed;) 🤣

[@Peperyna99]

Oh, he's wonderful. I'd like to play piano as well as him *^*

As a once virtuoso myself, this is one piece I could never quite play, which says an awful lot! There are just a couple pieces that stumped me, and this is one of them. This piece, in my estimation, is WAYYYY more difficult than the Chopin Etudes, more on par with the Liszt TE's, and the most difficult ones at that!

[@OrbiliusMagister]

I think that the instrument is not involved in the sound. It's a conscious choice by the pianist. Weren't this sound a little bit harsh it would not sound "Spanish". Prats proved very clever in sparing the pedals to bring out the "guitar inside the piano". I think it's easier to play this piece like a Chopin's Prelude than searching for it original, distinctive flavour. Prats was the right man to tread the harder path, and he succeded.

[@gtimny]

Unfortunately, this reading is once over the top, lightly. The piece is terribly difficult technically, and most of that is there (although he doesn't have the best octaves). There's also has a certain spirit in his playing, but really if you go to all the trouble of learning this complicated score, it would be nice to play the marked changes of dynamics, rubati, tenuti, etc. as Granados wrote them. Kind of a half-assed job musically, which is a shame because not too many pianists even attempt to play this piece.

[@SCRIABINIST]

I underestimated this piece, I thought it wasn’t as bad as some other pieces that I’ve learned, but this ended up being one of the trickiest and most difficult pieces I learned

[@icedcoffee278]

Five fingers drama brought me here, Oh wowwww looks complicated... I was planning to play islamei and goyesca... Guess what... I gave up :/

[@pghagen]

I miss the singing voice most of the time in his playing. Heard him several times in concert, using "clouds" of rhs pedal, and using as much power as possible. That's not the secret of Granados' Music. Listen to De Larrocha how this should be played.

노래가 무슨 노랜지 모르겠어요.

[@perry1559]

I still prefer Ciccolini's recording.

[@limericist1234]

Better sound in this rendition, with equally fine playing by Larry Graham - kzbin.info/www/bejne/onrCeKOAhNRkmJo
