Thanks for your fascinating post. I am a new fan to "Goyescas,"
orchestrated. I was won over by last month's Central City Opera
performance. Since then, Mike Richter led me to London OSA-1101 -
Spain - Ataulfo Argenta (c), with this cast
Rosario Consuela Rubio
Pepa Ana Maria Iriarte
Fernando Gines Torrano
Paquiro Manuel Ausensi
Contents of the three scenes:
1. Los requiebros (Endearments).
2. Coloquio en la Reja (Conversation at the window).
3. El fandango del Candil (The fandango by lamplight).
4. Quejas o la Maja y el Ruisenor (Complaints, or the Maiden and the
Nightingale).
5. El amor y la muerte (Love and death).
6. La Serenata del espectro (The spectre's Serenade).
Apparently, there was also a seventh escena goyesca for piano entitled
El Pelele (The Straw-man).
