The album concludes with the "Intermezzo from Goyescas" and "El Pelele," adding a final touch of Granados' signature charm.
With a total duration of 1 hour and 16 minutes, this album is a testament to Granados' enduring legacy. Whether you're a longtime fan of classical music or a newcomer to Granados' work, this collection offers a compelling exploration of one of Spain's most celebrated composers.
