Granados: Piano Music Vol.5

"Played by Douglas Riva with a richly poetic under-standing...recom-mended to all guitarists who are attracted to Granados's music, who know the value of linking guitar transcriptions and arrangements to their true sources, and who simply want to know more about the music of this remarkable composer. I must mention the piano sound, so faithfully recorded by John Taylor. We know his sterling work for the guitar, and it's inter-esting - though scarcely sur-prising - that he can do the same for the piano, which is widely recognized as a difficult instrument to record. I listen to Horowitz, Gould, Pletnev, Rubinstein et al for a number of different reasons; I listen to Douglas Riva for the sheer pleasure in the sound he obtains (with John Taylor's assistance) no less than for his masterly recreation of still underrated music from the romantic age."
