About this product
In his booklet essay, Jean-François Dichamp explains that he experienced an epiphany with Goyescas while Granados himself later reworked his piano cycle into an opera, first premiered to acclaim at the Metropolitan Opera House, just a couple of months before the composer's untimely death by drowning, the pianist sees the piano cycle as a through-written dramatic work in it's own right an opera for piano. He plays it accordingly, with tremendous fire and awareness of the voices which may be heard in pieces such as 'The Maiden and the Nightingale'. This is the lyric heart of a cycle which opens with the courtly insinuations of 'Galant Compliments' and soon progresses to a more ardent love duet, 'Conversation at the Window'. Finally, as so often in Spanish music, death has the last word, and the cycle closes with the Serenade to a Ghost comical yet chilling, unnerving and quintessentially Spanish. Between each section of the Goyescas, like intermezzi at the opera, Dichamp places a Baroque keyboard sonata, by Scarlatti and Soler. This is the music that would have accompanied aristocratic evenings for the nobles who were immortalized - not always in complimentary terms - by Goya. These are the paintings that changed the course of Granados's career when he first saw them as a young man in the Prado museum in Madrid, and determined that one day he would pay homage to Goya's muse in music. Jean-François Dichamp graduated from the Paris Conservatoire and became a pupil of Nikita Magaloff. His recordings have long attracted critical praise 'A pianist of great delicacy, subtle and elegant' (Le Monde de la Musique); 'his Chopin is at once thorough and profound' (Diapason).

![Erik Bosgraaf - Gli Uccellatori - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/f6ea301b-33a2-4a39-85ad-02c1ecd248a9.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Gli uccellatori ('The Bird Catchers') was first staged in Venice in 1759 and proved so successful that the opera was performed during the next decade throughout Italy, Spain, Poland and Germany before being performed in Vienna in 1768. It's composer was the distinguished Bohemian, Florian Leopold Gassmann, teacher of Salieri and nominated as Gluck's successor in Vienna. The plot, based on a libretto by Carlo Goldoni, concerns amorous intrigues and the buffo antics of three bird catchers and two knowing maids. Gli uccellatori is an opera with a wealth of motifs and a vibrant atmosphere, full of spirited wit and theatrical charm. Album Tracks 1. Uccellatori~Act One. Sinfonia. Allegro assai - Allegretto - Allegro 1. Uccellatori~Act Two. Scene XII. Oh, questa si ch'è bella!
