Claire Huangci - Meta - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

After a 'spellbinding' album for Alpha devoted to her American roots (Alpha1071), pianist Claire Huangci now celebrates female composers, acknowledging 'The realities these women faced are difficult to imagine for any modern woman in the field.' Clara Wieck (who became Schumann after her marriage to Robert in 1840) was a mother of eight and the main breadwinner, constantly on tour. Fanny Hensel composed largely in private. Often publishing under her brother's name. Amy Beach's career was practically silenced during her marriage; only upon her husband's death did she return to the stage. Florence Price faced both racial and gender discrimination and later raised two children alone. Across the centuries, the voices of these women reach us thanks to musicians like Claire 'In their music, we don't just hear history. We hear transformation. Heroines is my way of listening back-and adding my voice to theirs.' Album Tracks 2. Capriccio in B minor, H.349-II. Allegro Molto 8. Fantasia Fugata, Op. 87-II. Fuga. Allegro Moderato 23. Cotton Dance

Beethoven in chamber music the Septet as a chamber music original and the transcription of the Eroica Symphony for piano quartet and double bass showcases not only the palpable and explosive power of Beethoven's music, but also the flexibility and spontaneity of CHAARTS Chamber Artists.
