Goyescas - For Piano and the Stage

The NYPR Archive Collections | Jan 1, 2000

George Jellinek explores the music inspired by paintings. Enrique Granados was so inspired by the work of Francisco Goya that he wrote Goyescas, a suite of six pieces for piano, which later he turned into a one-act opera. We hear highlights from the two works side by side, Francisco Aybar playing the piano version and the singing of Consuelo Rubio, Ana Maria Iriarte, Gines Torrano, and Manuel Ausensi with Ataulfo Argenta conducting the Madrid Chorus and the Spanish National Orchestra in the opera version.
