Pianist Xiaowen Shang has recorded a programme that spans three centuries of Spanish music as part of the Royal Academy of Music Bicentenary Series. Federico Mompou’s late utterance, Música callada (Music of Silence) is a cycle of meditative miniatures, distilling flamenco rhythm and ethereal ancient melody. Mompou’s visionary masterpiece forms the touchstone of the recital, combining Antonio Soler’s eighteenth-century flamboyant sonatas with piano transcriptions of the sixteenth-century sacred composer Antonio de Cabézon.
