Daniel Ferruz, Joan Mas, David Mengual, Adria Claramunt - Un Presente (2025) Hi Res

Un presente arises from the deepest need for artistic expression of this young pianist and composer, reflecting Daniel Ferruz’s vision and commitment to his music. The title refers to the importance of fully inhabiting the present, both in life and in art.

At the same time, Un presente is an act of selfless generosity toward others, a musical moment that becomes a vital invitation to live in the present. The compositions on this album are the result of Ferruz’s personal experiences, a constant creative process of study and experimentation with the piano, an introspective work that offers a unique view of his musical personality.

This album is also the result of the consolidation of a stable quartet with a remarkable trajectory alongside saxophonist Joan Mas, double bassist David Mengual, and drummer Adrià Claramunt, with whom Ferruz has developed a distinctive sound over the last seven years, a sound reflected in his previous two albums (Noctis i Miradas), and where he reaches a special level of maturity in this, his latest work.

As a result of this evolution, Un presente also includes three solo piano pieces in which free improvisation plays a key role. Additionally, it features a collaboration with singer Eva Lago on the track Sol del Mediodía, with lyrics by Daniel Ferruz himself.
