Festival Ravel : Federico Mompou : légers battements de cœur Jean-François Heisser, piano

Its title "Silent Music" comes from the mystic poet St. John of the Cross: Música callada, a vast ensemble of brief sequences composed between 1959 and 1967 by Federico Mompou, is a work in a class of its own. A great specialist of the Spanish piano repertoire, Jean-François Heisser restores its minimalist gestures, the flights of bells that resonate towards the heavens, the notes suspended between past and present.
