Product Description Steinway & Sons is proud to announce this new release of piano music by Spanish composer Federico Mompou, delicately performed by a member of the 'vanguard of young artists with interest in unusual repertoire and the technique to give it life' (Classics Today). Featuring the mystical masterpiece Música Callada, the 28 pieces on this disc highlight Mompou's intimate, improvisatory style. Review Música Callada (Music of Silence) is a very special work, one of the most beautiful and elusive in the entire piano repertoire. It is extremely difficult to perform. On the one hand, there's the temptation to stretch each piece out hypnotically, if monotonously, while quicker speeds preserve the music's melodic essence at the expense of much of its atmosphere and harmonic richness. For although much of the music is indeed quiet, and none of it moves quickly, it is all meaningful.Mompou himself found the perfect balance between incident and repose, and of all the pianists since, Jenny Lin arguably comes closest to doing the same, only in much better sound. It's not so much that her tempos match Mompou's own (she's actually not copying him--it would hardly be possible in a work containing 28 individual pieces), but rather that her phrasing and sense of timing let the music breathe and sing with its own special poetry. To take just one example, consider the sadness that Lin finds in the fourth piece, 'Afflitto e penoso', by allowing the piece's harmonic color time to speak simply and eloquently.Another secret of her success is the splendid equilibrium between left and right hands. The treble gleams, bell-like, while the sonorous bass lines carry the music right through the many pauses, aided in no small degree by discretely timed use of the pedals. 'Secreto', from the early Impresiones intimas, makes the perfect encore and rounds out the program in a most satisfying way. If Música Callada represents Mompou's masterpiece, then this beautifully engineered disc must be its finest modern recording. It deserves a home in every serious piano music collection. --ClassicsToday, David Hurwitz, March 2011The 28 short works in Federico Mompou's 'Musica Callada' ('Silent Music') speak gently and directly, with an almost Minimalist simplicity and elegant touches of purely coloristic dissonance. Some could pass for music of Morton Feldman, except for their brevity, yet as short and constrained as these pieces are, their variety is striking. Ms. Lin's elegant, focused performances draw you fully into Mompou's quirky world. --New York Times, 2011 Music Gift Guide, Allan Kozinn
