Frederic Mompou's purely intuitive music has a unique place in Catalan history. He was initially inspired by the music of Fauré, but the early La cançó de l'àvia also represents an affinity with traditional Catalan folk-tunes, and his Quatre melodies reflect a love of brevity. Jordi Masó's six-volume set of the complete piano works of Mompou has been widely acclaimed.
"Marta Mathéu sings with appropriately affecting simplicity, with translucent accompaniment from Jordi Masó" (The Observer)
"Both performers hold us firmly entranced, especially Mathéu, with her beautifully controlled phrasing and alluring vocalism....beguilingly performed by two artists who really know and care about this rarely-heard, eminently worthy repertoire." (MusicWeb March 2015)
