Various Artists - The Masque of Moments - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This is a live recording of the recital given by Josep Colom at the Fundación Juan March in Madrid on 10 October 2018. Designed to encourage an original way of listening to music, the program consists of a linked sequence of single movements or pieces taken from collections. Together these form an uninterrupted whole that reveals hidden analogies between Schubert and seven other composers Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann, Brahms and Schoenberg. Josep Colom also revives a once common but now forgotten performing tradition that of using improvisation to create transitions between fully composed works. His concise extempore interludes lead the listener smoothly from one composition to another, creating a kind of continuum of sound.

Quiet music crossing four centuries, from the calm lute of the sixteenth century to the rich harmonies of the nineteenth, in a programme of some of the most profound music ever written. Long adagios contrast with a series of short but moving pieces. Music by JS Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Mahler and others. Album Tracks 1. Vita in Ligno Moritur 2. Pavana Dolorosa 3.
