Mompou: Secreto

Steinway & Sons is proud to announce this new release of piano music by Spanish composer Federico Mompou, delicately performed by a member of the "vanguard of young artists with interest in unusual repertoire and the technique to give it life" (Classics Today).

Featuring the mystical masterpiece Musica Callada, the 28 pieces on this disc highlight Mompou's intimate, improvisatory style.

Jenny Lin, acclaimed for her "remarkable technical command" and "gift for melodic flow" by The New York Times, shines on thes deeply personal works by Mompou, which she describes as "pure, naked, delicate and undecorated, with nowhere to hide".

The largely reflective works on this CD illustrate the changing attitudes in the works of composers around the period of the early 1900’s. A politically very sensitive and volatile time, music began to represent a more thoughtful and inward style of composition. This programme, compiled by Antoinette van Zabner, is both thought provoking and stimulating.
