Enrique Granados (1867-1916) is one of the most compelling figures of the late-Romantic period in music. During his return voyage to Spain after the premiere of his opera Goyescas in New York, a German submarine torpedoed the ship on which he and his wife were sailing and they perished in the waters of the English Channel. His death was mourned on both sides of the Atlantic as a stunning loss to the music world, for he had died at the pinnacle of his career and his late works heldthe promise of greater things to come. While Granados's tragic demise casts apall over his life story, author Walter Clark reveals an artist of remarkableversatility and individuality and sheds new light on his enduring significance.
