Frederic Mompou occupies a unique space in the whole of music of the twentieth century. His philosopher and friend, Vladimir Jankélévitch, tells us about a secret voice that is present in Mompou’s music. A voice that lives amidst resonances and that addresses us as the voice of the soul. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, no-one questions anymore the importance of the presence of this music in the historical and aesthetic context of the twentieth century; many of us believe that it has and will have a more important projection in this century and for today’s generations. But perhaps it will continue expressing itself secretly, at least discreetly, given its very nature of not making noise. As if this music were a subtle material and a spiritual extension of a wise and good man, as his widow Carmen Bravo defined him to me. This 4 CD includes Mompou complete piano works.
