Del record al present

A piano recital by Linus Montolio focused on Catalan music of more than a century, from the early twentieth century to the present day, with works by Mompou, Granados, Palmira Jaque and Francesc Casellas.

The programme offers a piano journey through Catalan music spanning more than a hundred years, from the early twentieth century to the present day. Linus Montolio is the pianist, and the thread of the concert is the dialogue between leading composers and others less well known but of notable heritage value.

Frederic Mompou and Enric Granados appear alongside Palmira Jaque and Francesc Casellas, a pupil of Granados. From Jaque come popular melodies; from Mompou, poetry of an introspective tone; from Casellas, a language rooted in Romanticism. Granados is represented by El amor y la muerte, a work of intense expressive charge.

The selection seeks to show the richness and variety of Catalan music of the last century through these four distinct voices. It is a piano recital focused on Catalan repertoire, held at the Centre Cultural La Casa Elizalde, with the title Del record al present serving as the guiding thread.
