"The performances are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed; nothing routine here although the longer pieces are not intrinsically spectacular ... A fascinating opportunity to encounter a composer better known for his music for solo piano".

"Enrique Granados is best-known for his piano music ... Little regard is given to his chamber music, songs and orchestral works ... All the music is finely played and performed by the soloists, the chorus and the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra under Pablo González ... The highlight for me is the advanced Dante-Symphonic Poem ... stunning performance by Gemma Coma-Alabert".

"Granado's orchestral works deserve to be heard more often. On this zestfully performed disc, the colourful symphonic poem Dante is the stand-out piece".

"[The] first section shows González and his orchestra at their best, with grainy strings, piquant soft-edged woodwinds and a natural, musicianly way of shaping a phrase. Those qualities are all in evidence in two short gypsy dances and the familiar Goyescas Intermezzo; the slightly hazy Naxos sound complements performances that are affectionate and characterful but which, in the last analysis, smoulder rather than blaze ... A welcome addition to the still surprisingly patchy Granados discography".
