20 GRANADOS_GOYESCAS Why did you choose Granados and his Goyescas for this new album? What is it about this great musical narrative of love and death – subtitled Los Majos enamorados , ‘Young people in love’ – that especially touches you?

Was it to reveal them to himself that he relied on a pictorial source? Was it not to evoke through this exuberance feelings that would be inexpressible in any other language?
