Composer's Artistic Vision
The album aims to challenge the historical neglect of women composers, arguing that their music possesses genius, craftsmanship, skill, and quality.
Cultural Impact
Despite the historical presence of brilliant women composers, current studies show that their works are significantly underrepresented in professional orchestra programming and music education textbooks.
Album & Artwork
The album features works by women composers spanning nine centuries, from the Middle Ages to the present day.
Historical Context
Historically, female Spanish and Catalonian composers of the Middle Ages were called 'trobairitz', meaning 'finders of songs', and were as acclaimed as their male counterparts, the 'trobadors'.
Recording & Production
The album was a co-production with Deutschlandfunk and BR-KLASSIK, recorded in Lucerne, Switzerland, and Munich, Germany.
