About
The Catalan tenor presents a studio recording entirely devoted to the beautiful songs of his great Catalan-Spanish compatriot, Federico Mompou (1893-1987). Though Mompou’s fame rests largely on his solo piano works, his many songs comprise the other genre for which he is recognised as a twentieth-century master. Roger Padullés is accompanied by the noted accompanist Iain Burnside. Presenting the major singers of today and the stars of tomorrow, the Rosenblatt Recitals are London's only world-class season of opera recitals. This new partnership with Opus Arte will see 5-6 CDs released per year, based predominantly on studio recordings with occasional bonus live tracks.

Burnside brings out all the colours of Mompou's chromatic ornamentation, overlaying a firmly tonal or modal base, and is particularly adept, as in the Canço de la fira, at elucidating Mompou's intricate part-writing
March 2015
there is no escaping the composer's inner flame of inspiration...Padulles's warm, youthful tenor makes an attractive guide to this intriguing repertoire...Do not expect memorable tunes or gripping narratives. Mompou's art is that of the Impressionist a composer of half-lights and reflected images.

This is a delightful disc that should be heard by everyone with an interest in art-songs.
