Pianist Charlotte Hu presents Goyescas, an album featuring Granados’ monumental Goyescas alongside two Spanish Dances. A cornerstone of Spanish piano literature, Goyescas was inspired by the paintings of Francisco Goya and unfolds as a richly poetic suite where passion, tenderness, shadow, and light coexist across six vividly characterised movements. From the playful charm of “Los requiebros” to the lyrical intimacy of “La maja y el ruiseñor” and the profound emotional summit of “El amor y la muerte,” Granados’ masterwork reveals a world of dramatic contrasts and refined storytelling. Hu captures both the virtuosic brilliance and the deeply intimate narrative of the music, illuminating its modern harmonic language and unmistakable Spanish spirit with freshness and reverence.

Complementing the suite are two Spanish Dances: the hauntingly introspective No. 2, “Oriental,” and the vibrant, guitar-inflected No. 5, “Andaluza.” Together, they offer concentrated glimpses into Granados’ expressive range – from quiet longing and poetic reflection to radiant joy and folkloric vitality. This release marks her second album on PENTATONE, following her debut, Liszt: Metamorphosis, released in 2024.
