Federico Mompou
Música Callada
« Silent music » – A cycle of 28 miniatures for piano
~~~
Its title, “Silent Music,” comes from the mystical poet Saint John of the Cross: Música callada, a vast collection of brief sequences composed between 1959 and 1967 by Federico Mompou, is a work in a class of its own. A leading specialist in the Spanish piano repertoire, Jean-François Heisser brings to life its minimalist gestures, the peals of bells ringing out toward the heavens, and the notes suspended between past and present.
