Best version on YouTube, best version I have ever heard, period. Impeccably clear, great dynamics, perfect!
In comparison to this, all other versions on YouTube seem to be played by hamfisted beginners who try to mask their clumsiness with a lot of pedal...

Wow! nice! im will play this on my recital :-D

I have to agree with previous comments, this is the finest piano performance of this piece on U Tube - you have a 'Spanishness' which most of the others don't seem to have. To simply play the notes as written just isn't enough for music like this. Added to my favourites, thanks.

@60moo I agree, I prefer this piece on guitar and I like Grondona's performance very much!
-
he plays it very wonderfully, i'm just starting to learn this piece i didn't realize it could be so beautiful : )
-
Very nice! Much faster than how I play it, but beautiful none the less! I will upload my version on my channel in a few days, come check it out! I say it again, very, very nice:)
-
@60moo In total agreement, he plays this like a second to none
-
Wonderful. Congratulations!!!

@60moo It was Albeniz. This is indeed a very good piano rendition.

what else can you say but....grenados
Probably the best piano version of Spanish Dance #5 I've heard.
An earlier comment suggested listening to the guitar version by John Williams. I can't remember if it was Granados or Albeniz who said he preferred the guitar transcriptions of his works to the piano originals. After listening to the guitar performance of this piece by Stefano Grondona (on YouTube), it's easy to understand why.

very nice version! Not too fast, not too slow, with rubato at right moments, great.
Now let's see what i'll be able to do instead :(
