Enrique Granados, born Pantaleón Enrique Joaquín Granados Campiña, was a renowned Spanish composer and concert pianist from Catalonia, Spain. Known for his uniquely Spanish musical style, Granados was a pioneer in the movement towards nationalism in late 19th-century Spanish music. His most celebrated works include the evocative piano suite "Goyescas," the vibrant "Spanish Dances," and the opera "María del Carmen." Beyond his musical talents, Granados was also an accomplished painter, adding another dimension to his artistic legacy. Born in the Catalonian city of Lleida in 1867, his life was tragically cut short when he was torpedoed by a German U-boat in the English Channel in 1916. Granados' compositions continue to captivate audiences with their rich, emotive qualities and deep cultural roots.
