Meeting Ginastera, Vol. 2 - Piano and Art Works by Alberto Ginastera & Federico Mompou

Gabriel Urgell Reyes

Classical - Released April 14, 2017 | ARTALINNA

Booklet
Cuban pianist Gabriel Urgell Reyes continues his spellbinding journey at the heart of Iberian and Latin-American music he began in the first volume of his "Meeting Ginastera” retrospective. By juxtaposing here Ginastera’s least well-known work – the cycle of 12 American Preludes – with the complete performance of Federico Mompou’s 12 Songs and Dances, Gabriel Urgell Reyes braves an hour of reverie and languid ecstasy: an emotional journey of rare intensity. © Artalinna

Mompou: Silent Music

Jenny Lin

Classical - Released April 5, 2011 | Steinway and Sons

Download not available
Federico Mompou wrote the 28 brief piano pieces that make up the four volumes of his Música Callada (Silent Music) between 1959 and 1967, but they could easily be mistaken for a product of the first decade of the century. The influence of Satie and Debussy is pronounced, but the music has an idiosyncratic individuality that keeps it from being mistaken for the work of either of those composers. The composer traced his aesthetic in part to his memories of the sound of bells when he was a child, and it's not hard to hear the influence of bell-like sonorities in Música Callada. The music doesn't follow the conventions of traditional tonality, but Mompou is discreet in the use of dissonance and the result is very gentle music that is not always clearly directional but is easy on the ear. Each of the miniatures is beautifully structured and proportioned, and even though most of them are slow and quiet, Mompou finds infinite ways to create slow, quiet moods without sounding redundant. The set, which lasts about 70 minutes, should make for very pleasant listening for fans of pastel keyboard music flavored with touches of impressionism and gentle modernism. The performance by Jenny Lin tends to be on the loud side, with greater dynamic contrasts than are usual for the work. Just hearing her playing, without knowing the title of the piece, it's doubtful that many listeners would guess Silent Music was an appropriate title. On some levels, Lin's performance works on its own terms; her tone is lovely, and her phrasing supple and flexible. Her wide dynamic range, however, makes the piece sound more conventional than the composer seems to have intended; the aura of distant mystery that a very quiet performance can produce is missing, as well as the composer's apparent intention to flout tradition by writing a work of this length within an unusually circumscribed dynamic range. The sound of the Steinway & Sons recording is immaculate, but a little on the bright side.© TiVo

Cassadó & Mompou: Complete Guitar Works

Eugenio Della Chiara

Classical - Released March 22, 2024 | Naxos

Hi-Res Booklet
While there are numerous choices on the market for recordings of the guitar works by Gaspar Cassadó and Federico Mompou, there are several draws to this one by Eugenio Della Chiara, his debut on the Naxos label. Combining these composers on the same solo guitar program seems natural in that they were contemporaries, each was heavily influenced by Catalan folk music and lore, and all but the two Cançó i dansa here by Mompou were written for the legendary Andrés Segovia. Most importantly, though, is the player stepping into the considerable role of Segovia, and there is much to like about Della Chiara's performances. While the natural fit of these composers on a singular program makes sense, it also produces a major challenge to the performer, keeping the audience's focus throughout. That is not an issue here, thanks, in part, to the rhythmic variety of the dances but primarily due to Della Chiara's incredibly precise and clean playing while not sacrificing the phrasing and lyricism of these expressive composers. Perhaps the best combination of these is found in the Muñeira (or muiñeira) finale of Mompou's Suite compostelana: a lively, up-tempo traditional dance that will certainly leave listeners walking away from this program with a smile and maybe a little pep in their step. Credit also goes to Naxos' engineers who provide properly intimate sound from the Forum Della Chiara in Pesaro, Italy, placing the listener directly beside Della Chiara.© Keith Finke /TiVo
