Description
This album presents the complete solo works for guitar by two Catalan contemporaries, the cellist Gaspar Cassado and the pianist Federico Mompou. Cassado wrote six guitar works connected to his friendship with Andres Segovia, mostly based on folk elements such as the sardana, a traditional Catalan circle dance. In Mompou's works for guitar, the influence of his mysticism and attachment to Catalan folklore are undeniable. He composed primarily for piano but he also wrote three pieces for guitar, notably Suite compostelana for Segovia. The hypnotic, austere and lyrical elements in this work distil Mompou's compositional genius.
