Federico Mompou: Música Callada

Herbert Henck

This disc contains all four books of Mompou’s piano cycle Música Callada, composed between 1959 and 1967. Mompou (1893 – 1987) was born in Barcelona and spent a great deal of his life traveling between Spain and Paris, where he was influenced by the musical language of Debussy and Satie. This collection of short pieces has a strong affinity with the impressionist music of Satie.
