Avant-guarding Mompou

Avant-guarding Mompou – a kaleidoscope of contemporary music: Influenced by the French Impressionists, Mompou’s "Cançons i Danses" are juxtaposed in the present recording by commissions from nine other composers, four of them Spanish, one Greek, one Czech, one French, one English and one German. This compilation of works reveals some surprising cross-references and at the same time interprets the idiosyncratic title (‘Making Mompou our contemporary’) in an individual way.
