This second and final volume of Frederic Mompou’s complete songs features the cycle Becquerianas, one of his most ambitious and also one of his most diverse, with it’s unprecedented fusion of Andalusian folk-music, virtuosic piano writing and vocal opulence. Comptines, by comparison, are joyful and simple traditional children’s counting rhymes. Also included are five recently discovered songs: Et sento que vns, Ets l’infinit, El testament d’Amlia, Ave Mara and El viaje definitivo. ‘… an enticing first offering in a welcome series, and the performers are warmly to be applauded’ (Fanfare on Volume 1 / 8.573099).
