Up-and-coming pianist Marina Staneva has made unusual choices for her first two album releases. Her first was an album of Bulgarian music, reflecting her own background but hardly familiar elsewhere. Now, for a follow-up, she chose not major repertory sonatas but works by Federico Mompou, a 20th century Catalonian composer whose short works are subtle, not particularly virtuosic, and sometimes seeming to recede to the vanishing point. Staneva seems to know what she is doing, however, for these are fine Mompou performances that will satisfy those who love this composer (the present writer included). Sample the Variations sur une thème de Chopin, whose 12 variations have an unusual structure: the music takes on chromatic accretions and then, in the later ones, resolves to a new tonal clarity independent of the original material (from the Chopin Prelude in A major, Op. 28, No. 7). Staneva holds this dynamic confidently in hand. She is equally effective in the 13 Cançons i Danses pieces in which a tuneful passage is paired with a dance in consistently inventive ways. Staneva catches the faint jazz influences in some of these pieces, and she lets the fundamental simplicity of Mompou's music speak for itself. The album is beautifully and idiomatically recorded at Potton Hall in Suffolk, and it serves notice of a major emerging talent.
