Clelia Iruzun - Mompou: Selected Works, Vol. 2 (2016)

A follow-up to the successful release of the first volume of piano music by Federico Mompou (SOMMCD 0121) with Clélia Iruzun, Volume II continues with thirty more tracks of hauntingly beautiful and memorable music by this unique Spanish composer and pianist who died in 1987 aged 94. A recluse who rarely appeared in public, Mompou wrote music which since its first appearance, over 100 years ago, has been widely appreciated for its wonderful fusion of colour, mood and intimate characterisation. The music in this collection is wide-ranging and contains many examples of Mompou’s remarkable individuality as a composer.
