Mompou: Música Callada

Composer
Released

Federico Mompou (1893-1987) lived a long life filled with a quiet love for music, and in this benchmark performance of the Catalan composer’s Música Callada, pianist Herbert Henck takes us inside the heart of one who greatly admired those to whom we might easily compare his writing: Debussy, Satie, and the like. These are, however, mere hints of the humble genius encoded herein. Like a scrapbook of impressions (though not for lack of clarity), this series of 28 pieces soliloquizes the quotidian in its domestic comforts and inward dreaming. Brief yet fully formed, each is a poem without words.
