The whole idea behind this is finally throwing some light on the female contribution to the musical world it's a programme of works for piano and wind instruments written by ten contemporary female composers from the four corners of the world (Jordan, Greece, France, Canada, Argentina, Latvia, Australia, Nigeria, China and Italy). It is a sort of anthology of different currents and trends, perfectly illustrating the wealth of ideas that 21st-century female composers have to offer. It has been recorded by the Ensemble Chaminade, consisting of clarinet, oboe, horn, bassoon and piano, an ensemble specifically founded to study, record and divulgate this kind of repertoire. These works are receiving here their world premiere recording. Album Tracks 1. La Maestria 2. Quintetto, Op. 130 3. 5 Sketches 4. Soaring... on Eagles' Wings (Version for Wind Quartet and Piano) 5. Tangominiatures (Version for Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Horn and Piano) 6. Valse 7. Converse 8. Ballet, InchSindbadInch 9. Mind You Do 10. Play

In the last decade or so, the contemporary Polish composer Mieczyslaw Weinberg has undergone a renaissance of sorts with his compositions receiving a level of attention from a younger generation of musicians that has been markedly absent in years past. Piotr Rozanski (piano) and Maria Slawek (violin) add notably to this recent phenomena with this collection of Weinberg's sonatas from the late 1940s and early 1950s that provide another compelling glimpse into the unlikely trajectory of this composer. Album Tracks 1. Sonata for Violin & Piano No. 4, Op. 39 2. Sonatina for Violin & Piano in D Major, Op. 46 3. Sonata for Violin & Piano No. 5 in G minor, Op. 53
