Enrique Granados worked in music at a period when the art was changing shape around them.
The record lists Enrique Granados as Spanish pianist and composer (1867–1916).
Enrique Granados was born at Lleida in 1867. His recorded nationality is Spain. He trained at Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu.
This was the century of the virtuoso and the touring soloist, when a performer could become famous across a continent.
He worked as composer and pianist.
The instruments recorded are piano.
His work is classed as classical music and sardana.
He performed with Catalan Piano School.
Among his best-known works are Goyescas, Partitura and Danzas Españolas. A musical reputation rests on a handful of works that refuse to date.

That the work came out of Spain shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Enrique Granados died in 1916, aged 49. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
