I'll give it a listen - it's on Youtube. Mompou is a rather special composer, just as you say. I have his Impresiones Intimas played by de Larrocha. I kind of go on and off them. They're bitter-sweet and quite ephemeral. Strange stuff, not entirely comfortable listening.
"He was also influenced by the sounds and smells of the maritime quarter of Barcelona, the cry of seagulls, the sound of children playing and popular Catalan culture. He often dispensed with bar lines and key signatures..."
Quite a guy. His family made bells.
