“During the period between 1918 and 1978 the great composer and pianist Frederic Mompou composed a set of fifteen pieces called ‘Cançons i danses’. The particularity of these works is the Catalan composer’s ability to weave masterpieces out of his own native folklore.
The project ‘Avant-guarding Mompou’ arised from my wish to perform Mompou’s complete ‘Cançons i danses’ cycle together with a new one created especially for that occasion by composers of our time. New works have been also based on Catalan folklore as were those written by the Catalan master. Thus, the result of the iniciative meant to be an interaction in between the existence cycle created by Mompou alongside new avant-garde approaches with the personal stamp of the composers who participated in the project.
The nine composers who accepted taking part in this project come from different parts of Europe, including Catalonia and the rest of Spain. I am truthfully amazed how the project has been so positively received amongst some of the most prolific and active classical music creators of nowadays: Moritz Eggert, Konstantia Gourzi, Nicolas Bacri, Antón García Abril, Joseph Phibbs, Joan Magrané, Josep Maria Guix, Jiri Gemrot and Victor Estapé.
After the world premiere performance at the Conway Hall in London last June a new exciting step is approaching: I would like to materialise all this beautiful music in a discographic recording project.
Would you like to be part of it? Your help will be very much appreciated!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Yours,
Maria
