A pupil of Roberto Gerhard, the Catalan composer Joaquím Homs developed a style that, after experiment with atonality, led to a full use of serialism. His music, however, remains expressive and approachable. Apart from the early Suite, written at fifteen, the other works included here follow the development of Homs’s musical language from the Piano Concertino of 1946 through serialism to the expressiveness of his String Soliloquy and Piano Diptych of the 1970s.

Review By Hubert Culot,MusicWeb International,June 2007

"Thanks to Jordi Masó’s untiring championing and to a handful of adventurous recording companies - principally Marco Polo, Naxos and Columna Musica - Homs’ music may now be appreciated for all it is worth. I have no doubt about it: Homs was an important composer, whose music never excludes expression and emotion, even when adopting dodecaphony or serialism. It generously repays repeated hearings. This release, obviously recorded to mark the composer’s centenary, offers the best introduction possible to his personal, endearing sound world."
