Info zu Granados: Chamber Music with Piano

Aevea is proud to introduce Trio Rodin's first CD with a Granados piano trio new version based on the manuscript found at the 'Museu de la Música de Barcelona' instead of the commonly played edition. The CD includes the world's first recording of Granados Trova, an arrangement by the composer himself of his most famous chamber orchestra piece 'Elisenda'. The sonata for violin and piano is another of the great surprises this CD offers the listener. We knew about the existence of the valued manuscripts of a second, third and fourth movements of the known one movement sonata; but no one has dusted them off and shown them to an audience till now. A complete second movement and two other unfinished movements are presented here as a premiere of what it is without any doubt one of his greatest chamber music works.
