BBC Radio 3 - Composer of the Week, Enrique Granados (1867-1916), Home and Away

Donald Macleod on how Granados met his wife-to-be, and how he found his musical voice.

Donald Macleod on how Granados met his wife-to-be, as well as how he found his musical voice through improvisation, public performance and research tours across Spain.

Donald Macleod explores the life and work of Enrique Granados; a composer who, as much as any, presented a vision of Spain to the modern world

A quickly sketched caricature by one of history's greatest opera singers: of dark languid eyes, and a fine drooping moustache. This was how Enrico Caruso portrayed Enrique Granados. In today's programme Donald Macleod finds Granados meeting his wife to be - a story of pauper and princess if ever there was - and finding his musical voice through improvisation, public performance, and research tours across the Spanish countryside.
