	Lydia Jardon - About Goyescas
		However, the scenes corresponding to the six Goyescas by Granados are not to be found in Goya's paintings.
		Goyescas are often considered to be inspired by the frescos of the Chapel of San Antonio de la Florida, painted in Madrid in 1797.
		Goyescas might also refer to the famous paintings used as tapestry designs, representing three individual periods; the first two being of the artist's youth, when his inspiration was still fuit of bright cheer and colors, the last representing a much later, darker period in the artist's life.

	OperaWorld.com's Opera Insights: Goyescas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The pieces in the work, named after scenes from the paintings and tapestries of Goya (1746-1828), with some episodes influenced by the "Goyesque" period in Madrid, are considered to be the beginning of modern Spanish music.
		Granados consulted with Fernando Periquet and, after the two had decided on a dramatic format for the work, the opera was, in a sense, composed in reverse: Granados arranged and composed the music, to which Periquet then fitted a libretto.
		Goyescas is published by G. Schirmer, Inc. and is available in Spanish, English, or Italian.

		Her performance of the Goyescas on this CD is world-class.
		Her playing of the Goyescas is truly magical--well beyond even what Alicia is capable of.
		Regarding "Goyescas," I can't say I know as much, but its lush, rich texture and its careful building upon themes sprinkled throughout the work (unlike separate movements of Iberia) make for a beautiful complement to Iberia.

	AR RE-SE - Goyescas
		She does not attempt to imitate the legendary Goyescas of Larocha, nor the austerity of Ciccolini, the excessive imagination of Luisada, the restraint of Del Pueyo or the impressionist poetry of Achucarro in these same pieces.
		It is a pleasure to hear once again the supple, beautiful playing in a repertory dominated by male performers, with the obvious exception of Alicia de Larrocha.
		The dances are at once rustic, brilliant and unaffected, interpreted as is, with moreover a quality of recording that brings out their best, so they show two aspects of Granados’ music, which is sometimes mistakenly seen as an epigone of Albeniz.

	Goyescas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		For his opera Goyescas Granados made use of his successful piano suite of the same title.
		Inspired by the work of the painter Francisco Goya, Goyescas is thoroughly Spanish in its story and musical content, treating the love- story of the bull-fighter Paquiro and his girl Pepa and of the aristocratic Rosario and her captain, Fernando.
		The Intermezzo from Goyescas has enjoyed an independent concert existence, with Rosario’s attractive La maja y el ruiseñol (The Girl and the Nightingale).

		Enrique Granados made his reputation as a composer of piano music, but also composed six operas, of which Goyescas was the last.
		Fittingly, Goyescas began life in 1911 as a series of piano pieces, inspired by the paintings of Francisco Goya.
		Five years later, the piano suites were expanded into an opera, and the famous Intermezzo was added, like so much instrumental music in opera, to cover a scene change.

		During his return voyage to Spain after the premiere of his opera Goyescas at New York's Metropolitan Opera in 1916, a German submarine torpedoed the ship on which he and his wife were sailing, and they perished in the waters of the English Channel.
		His death was mourned on both sides of the Atlantic as a stunning loss to the music world, for he had died at the pinnacle of his career, and his late works held the promise of greater things to come.
		Granados's best-known music was inspired by the art of Francisco Goya, especially the Goyescas suite for solo piano that became the basis for the opera.

		Zumbro presented the historic premieres of the Concord Sonata of Ives in several European countries, and his solo performances of the music of Liszt won standing ovations at Lincoln Center.
		In 1997, he performed the complete "Goyescas" cycle in Paris, and appeared at the Tsar's Palace in St. Petersburg.

		The sight of the ruins as you approach the coast from a country side road is a breathtaking view.
		Las Corridas Goyescas de Ronda are some of the best attended bullfights in all Spain.
		I've heard getting tickets for the Corridas Goyescas is practically impossible but am still trying my luck - the Real Maestranza people have given me a contact no. so will try that.

		It is true to say that some of the Danzas espanolas were the works that brought him his initial popularity; however these are still relatively little known-with four exceptions.
		Goyescas pushes most of his other music into the background where it has remained for a considerable time.
		So it is with great faith that Naxos have embarked on what will eventually become the complete piano works of this composer.

		While there is fullness of tone and a sympathetic acoustic, the sound itself can be just a little tubby in the more sonorous climaxes.
		Alicia de Larrocha has recorded Goyescas before, for both EMI (1963, originally made for the Spanish Hispavox label) and Decca (1977), and the latter recording and performance is as good as any.
		It is no surprise that she has become less impulsive in her approach to dynamics, phrasing and tempi as the years have passed.

	Classical Net Review - Granados - Piano Works
		This isn't the Goya who satirized the court, painted his nightmares, or raged against political repression, but the chronicler of Spanish peasant and middle-class life.
		From the opening measures of Goyescas, Granados plunges us into a rich, sensuous world of sound.
		Without question, this is the finest performance of Goyescas - even though missing three numbers - I've heard.

		The first production of a double-bill with Goyescas, Pagliacci introduced the audience into the world of the ghosts of the theatre, and their telling of this tragic story of love and uncontrolled passion.
		Linking the stark stylistic approach to Goyescas, Director David Edwards and I incorporated bold color choices and lighting angles to express the theatricality of the story.
		We returned to stark realism for the final play within a play with an atmosphere of a realistic kitchen with a single practical light bulb--all to intensify the contrast of reality and theatre.

		He won distinction as a pianist and popularity in Spain with his contributions to the form of zarzuela.
		He was drowned in the English Channel when the boat on which he was returning home from an American tour by way of Liverpool was torpedoed during World War I. In addition to a number of zarzuelas, Granados wrote an opera Goyescas, derived from piano pieces after paintings by Goya.
		The Goyescas of 1911 are more ambitious in their technical requirements.

		Alicia de Larrocha's valedictory recording of Goyescas, from 1989 (her fourth, I believe), gains extra fullness and amplitude in this 24-bit transfer.
		Likewise, the six pieces culled from Granados' Danzas Espanolas cycle can't be bettered in terms of stylish authority and timing, and they recapture most (if not all) of the suppleness that distinguishes Larrocha's earlier, less well recorded Decca traversals.
		For sound, performance, and price, you won't find a more recommendable Goyescas.

		Any new release of Goyescas faces unavoidable comparison to Alicia de Larrocha's standard-setting interpretation (her 1976 Decca version is the finest of her four recordings).
		Happily, Douglas Riva's persuasive playing stands up well to such formidable competition.
		As a bonus, Riva includes the previously unrecorded "Serenata goyesca", a slight, rather inconclusive piece that may have formed part of Goyescas' first draft.

		If Hotel prices are really expensive in Ronda, have you considered perhaps staying in the beautiful village of Zahara de los Atunes, some 30 km away?
		I say this because though Ronda is beautiful it is marred by its masses of tourists and I think the hotels take advantage of the corrida goyesca to charge ridiculously high prices, although the "feria" itself really isn't that spectacular.
		I'm spending an extra day in Ronda just because I thought it would be worth seeing (even if we cant get tickets for the corridas goyescas - cant seem to find anything online about it
