• Montserrat Figueras

It is more than two years since the sudden departure of Montserrat Figueras on 23 November, 2011. A new, long stage in our life has come and gone like a sigh, a sigh that has been encompassed and marked by the contrast between the void of a definitive physical absence and the immensely rich memory of the life we had in common, which remains intensely present. The silences and the tears which filled our heart during the early days of this painful stage, which was also filled with regrets and deep nostalgia, gradually gave way – like the rays of sunshine after a storm – to positive thoughts of gratitude and joy. A feeling of profound gratitude to one who for more than 40 years was an attentive, faithful, sensitive companion, and above all a genuine muse, a constant inspiration and partner in all our endeavours.

It is more than two years since the sudden departure of Montserrat Figueras on 23 November, 2011.

A feeling of profound gratitude to one who for more than 40 years was an attentive, faithful, sensitive companion, and above all a genuine muse, a constant inspiration and partner in all our endeavours.

Then came the necessary, inevitable end to the initial phase, which, thanks to long periods of vital reflection on the meaning of life and the viability and continuity of our musical projects, enabled us to adapt to a new emotional and musical life. As the months passed, we had to learn to transform this feeling of profound sadness into an expression of generosity, welcoming it as a new and intimate friend who will accompany and remain with us forever. Intimate memories of so many mornings and days which will never return, but also moments of consolation thanks to the warm presence of her spirit and the indelible memory of her beautiful humanity.
