Emili Brugalla is a pianist whose repertoire and recordings reveal a strong affinity for the music of Spanish and Catalan composers. As a dedicated interpreter of Iberian piano music, Brugalla has produced several notable albums that spotlight the nuanced works of this region. One of his significant releases includes "Granados: Goyescas," which features the works of Enrique Granados, a Spanish composer known for his romantic and nationalist style. Through his album, Brugalla has conveyed the depth of expression inherent in Granados's compositions, notably those inspired by the paintings of Francisco Goya.

His project "Iberian Sounds · Catalan Music for Two Pianos" showcases his commitment to regional music and his skills in a collaborative setting. Further exploration of Catalan music can be observed in another of his respected works, "Dialogues (Manuel Blancafort - Frederic Mompou)," where the interplay between the compositions of these two influential composers is made evident under Brugalla's nimble touch. His dedication to Catalan music is also reflected in his thoughtful interpretation of Frederic Mompou's "Música Callada" – a series of piano pieces that require a profound understanding of silence and minimalism, attributes that Brugalla brings to his performance. Brugalla's musical exploration is also marked by historical and cultural elements, as can be heard in "Homs: Un Retrat (Música de Cambra)," an album that celebrates the chamber music of Joaquim Homs, highlighting the versatility and depth of the Catalan music canon. His contributions to the promotion and performance of Catalan music have made him a respected figure among modern interpreters of this rich musical tradition.
