  • Description

    The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs awarded a rosette to Stephen Hough's earlier Gramophone Award-winning Hyperion recording of Mompou,
    and this successor is equally fine.



    'Música callada' comprises twenty-eight exquisite miniatures, brief
    in duration yet rich in allusion: music which makes its mark with subtlety, understatement and a unique economy of means.



    "there is something just genuinely mesmerising about this noise Stephen Hough plays […]. The combination of objective skill, intellectual clarity, and colouration as well as his use of colours. […] It's luminous the way he can make the piano sing and sparkle. This confidence to find the space between the notes is perfectly suited to these sketches." – BBC Radio 3, Record Review



    "For lovers of Mompou, this is as deep a descent into the well of this music as you will come across." – MusicWeb International



    International Piano Album of the Month March 2023: "With evert phrase profoundly and lovingly considered, the pianism here is exquisite." – International Piano



    Schubert: Piano Sonatas (CDA68370): "Among the most touching Schubert performances I have ever experienced." - Gramophone



    Chopin: Nocturnes (CDA68351-2): "This complete set of Chopin Nocturnes....is a sure fire winner, fit to be placed alongside recordings by giants of the past." - The Mail on Sunday



    "He brings focus and variety to each of these aural morsels, amply rewarding the concentration required on the part of the listener." – Gramophone
