Mompou’s affinity for folkloric music demonstrates his love for an art with no artifice – one that can only be described as genuine, natural, sincere, and authentic. The meditative and contemplative qualities of his music speak to the individual in such intimate terms that the listener is transported to a moment in time, free from constraints of musical techniques and drama, but rather carried by the freedom and economy of notes, and once concluded the moment seems elusive and has evaporated without a trace leaving only a feeling of distant nostalgia like a long forgotten childhood memory from another world. The Eden Stell guitar duo record the Cançons i Danses of Catalan composer Federico Mompou, in a new collection of arrangements.
