About

Following her acclaimed debut recital, Marina Staneva returns with a programme of works by the Spanish-Catalan composer Federico Mompou. The programme opens with Paisajes (Landscapes), written in 1942, 1947, and 1960. The first two pieces are dedicated to the Catalan pianist Carmen Bravo, whom Mompou met after his return from Paris to Barcelona in 1942, and subsequently married. Mompous Variations on a Theme of Chopin were started in 1938, but completed in 1957 upon a commission from the Royal Ballet in London for a successor to The House of Birds (a 1955 ballet which used piano pieces by Mompou orchestrated by John Lanchbery). The Chopin ballet was never produced, but the piano variations remain. The twelve Cancons i danses (Songs and Dances) were composed between 1921 and 1962, and the form for each is broadly similar: a slow canco (song) followed by a more animated dansa (dance), but the pattern sometimes varies, and these pieces are anything but formulaic. Mompou intended to provide a contrast between lyricism and rhythm, to avoid one collection of songs and another of dances.

Reviews

Christmas 2023

She brings out the dance elements that almost always lurk in the background of the Catalonian composer’s writing , whether originating in folk music or jazz, and performs with a sincerity, spaciousness, affection for the music and quiet confidence that make me eager to hear what she will do next.
