September 28, 2022 – Palau de la Música Catalana: Recital at the Palau de la Música Catalana, within the Palau Piano cycle. Works by Fdez-Barrero, Strauss and Granados. Continuing with the presentation of my new album, Piano Serenade, edited by Aglae Musica and dedicated to the works for solo piano by Richard Strauss, this recital will include a selection of his Pieces for piano op. 3 and his Stimmungsbilder op. 9. These works will be preceded by a world premiere work by Marcos Fernandez Barrero entitled Scenes, based on the Goyescas of Granados that deconstructs some of their themes and rhythms. Precisely in the second part we will listen to a wide selection of the Goyescas by Granados, with works from the Suite Los Majos Enamorados but also with other works that do not belong to the famous suite but are part of the “Goyesque” universe of Granados.

Piano Serenade – HERE you can watch the presentation video of Piano Serenade, my new CD dedicated to the piano music of Richard Strauss, edited by Aglae Música. In this video I talk about the motivation that led me to record this album and the music on it. I make a brief review and introduction of the 3 great works that make up this CD: the Five pieces for piano op. 3, Piano Sonata Op. 5 and Stimmungsbilder, Op. 9. All of them works influenced by the style of Shumnann and Mendelssohn, with some traits of Beethoven, but that already show some distinctive traits of what the later composer would be, and even aspects that appear in his later work.
