Time Out in Barcelona
RUDOLPH S. RAUCH succumbs to the easygoing charm of Catalonia’s capital city.
...
The drive that brought the Palau de la Música to completion in three years reappeared in Barcelona in 1994, when the Gran Teatre del Liceu’s auditorium, stage and much of the rest of the building were destroyed in a fire. Just over five years later, it reopened — a state-of-the-art theater covering 36,000 square meters, three times as large as before. The auditorium was a faithful reconstruction, with new artwork by the Catalan painter Perejaume set into round “oculi” in the ceiling and above the proscenium. These panels slide back to allow lights mounted on a platform under the ceiling to be directed toward the stage. For those occupying the “partial view” seats, individual monitors provide an electronic view of the stage. The dazzling public rooms and the private club formerly reserved for the Liceu’s wealthy owners were undamaged by the fire and were merely touched up during the reconstruction. For a glimpse of the lifestyle enjoyed by those who owned the theater for its first 150 years, it is necessary to take a tour that includes the Cercle del Liceu. This art nouveau hideaway is two floors of stained glass, marble floors and mahogany marquetry, with womblike leather club chairs and paintings of high society by Ramón Casas. Guided tours are offered daily at 10 A.M. A supplemental ticket costing three euros is required to visit the Cercle.

The Great Granados
Why has Spain — a country with an alluring musical tradition — not produced more operas? The complex career of Enrique Granados provides some answers to the question. STEVEN BLIER examines the life of the composer of superb Spanish songs
...
In the Canciones Amatorias, Granados’s vision of sixteenth-century Spain is unexpectedly opulent, with high-flying vocal lines and colorful piano-writing. Each song is like an aria — in the original keys, the singer gets to wail into her “money register,” those high Bs and Cs that send audiences into a frenzy. No wonder they are published with an appendix of transposed versions, to put them into a tessitura where medium-voice singers can also do them justice. In the Tonadillas, the piano imitates a laconic guitar; in the Canciones, the piano is more like a guitar concerto, with plucked effects alternating with gorgeous swells of color and unexpected harmony. The melodic writing reveals Granados at his height, and in the span of these four-minute songs he shows himself to be a master of musical rhetoric. Each piece builds and develops in an appropriate arc, sometimes with big, cathartic climaxes, sometimes with gentler gestures. In his Canciones Amatorias, Granados found a way to suggest the ballads of seventeenth-century Spain while indulging his high-Romantic nature

Pues precisamente, hablando de Granados, podría citar sus Goyescas (líricas, no pianísticas)
