According to a dictionary, a whirlwind is 1. A small rotating wind and 2. A wild person, moving briskly and violently. Both associations inspired us to choose this title for our recordings. In earlier centuries, women composers rocked many conventions, and today women composers sometimes still have to contend with considerable resistance or prejudice. The women who took up the pen for us in this project are all vibrant, strong and inspiring personalities with enormous focus and concentrated creative energy. The selection of works originate from female composers all over the world. Singer Pur are a German vocal sextet founded in 1991 founded by former members of the Regensburger Domspatzen. The five original members were joined by a soprano in 1994. The sextet is focused on classical music, but have also performed and recorded traditional folk songs.

Leticia Gomez-Tagle writes of her new InchThe title of this album is a play on words 'Si' means 'yes' in Spanish, but it also refers to the musical note B. Since all the sonatas on this album are in the key of B minor, I decided to give it this title. Among the works on this recording are some of the most important sonatas by two of the most 'pianistic' composers of the Romantic era. I have played these works over the course of many years, and my interpretation has matured to the point where I was happy to record them. The third and final sonata on this album is a Baroque jewel a very simple and short sonata by Domenico Scarlatti that serves as a culmination and conclusion of everything that happened before.Inch
