Federico Mompou’s late utterance, Música Callada (Music of Silence) is a cycle of meditative miniatures, distilling flamenco rhythm and ethereal ancient melody.

The album is the second recording of Musica Callada (Music of Silence) in the NativeDSD Catalog. Following the earlier release of this composition performed by pianist Josep Colom on Eudora Records in a NativeDSD Exclusive Stereo and 5 Channel Surround Sound Pure DSD 256 edition.

Mompou’s visionary masterpiece forms the touchstone of the recital, combining Antonio Soler’s eighteenth-century flamboyant sonatas with piano transcriptions of the sixteenth-century sacred composer Antonio de Cabézon.
