The duo's second album on Solo Musica celebrates the song repertoire of women composers from Romanticism to Contemporary Music with 24 songs by 24 women composers. The Swiss soprano Franziska HEINZEN and British-Polish-German pianist Benjamin MEAD set out to research the work of women composers for Clara SCHUMANN's bicentenary in 2019 - and discovered a valuable treasure of relatively unknown music. Beginning with a life journey through refreshing spring feelings, the album goes on to describe painful hours of loneliness and uncertainty as well as anxious premonitions of death and dark fears. Five examples of self-confident female characters, whose experiences are concluded with wiser, reflections on life, as seen retrospectively. Album Tracks 1. June Twilight 2. Heure Exquise 3. Laue Sommernacht 4. Ah, Love, But a Day 5. Am Strande 6. Mélodies (10), for voice & piano~Le Regard Éternel 7. Hilf Mir! 8. Mélodies (4) for voice & piano~Le Bonheur S'Effeuille et Passe 9.

Juliette Hurel and Hélène Couvert, who have long enjoyed a close rapport on the concert and on disc, here celebrate five French women composers at the turn of the twentieth century. Countess Clémence de Grandval was the composer of some sixty songs, of which Saint-Saëns said 'They would certainly be famous if their composer did not have what many people regard as the irremediable defect of being a woman.' Augusta Holmès earned the admiration of Liszt, Wagner and Saint-Saëns. To mark the Universal Exhibition of 1889, she composed a monumental work for more than a thousand musicians. During her studies at the Conservatoire, Mélanie Bonis fell madly in love with a singer, but had to marry a rich industrialist. She later returned to composition and used the pseudonym Mel Bonis, leaving her gender in doubt. Cécile Chaminade displayed extraordinary gifts at a very early age. Bizet called her 'My little Mozart'. Lili Boulanger received her first music lessons from her sister, the famous teacher Nadia. In 1913, at the age of nineteen, she became the first woman to receive the Prix de Rome. The word 'compositrice' was born! Album Tracks 1. Sonate~I. Andantino con moto 2. Sonate~II. Scherzo-Vivace 3. Sonate~III. Adagio 4. Sonate~IV. Finale-Moderato 5. Nocturne 6. D'un Matin de Printemps 7. Suite~I. Prélude 8. Suite~II. Scherzo 9. Suite~III. Menuet 10. Suite~IV. Romance 11. Suite~V. Final 12. Pièce, Op. 189 13. Scherzo (Finale), Op. Posthume 187 14. Sérénade aux Étoiles, Op. 142 15. Trois Petites Pièces~Chanson 16. Trois Petites Pièces~Clair de Lune 17. Trois Petites Pièces~Gigue

Ruth Lomon (1930-2017), Composer and Resident Scholar at the Women's Studies Research Center at Brandeis University and Composer-in-Residence with Boston Secession, and her friend Iris Graffman Wenglin, Florida-based pianist and lecturer, came to a stunning realization after Ruth traveled to London, where she looked for music written by women. There were very few scores to be found, and even fewer that were properly printed. With that, the duo set out on a mission to uncover the buried works of female composers over the years and bring them deserved recognition. The results of this endeavor come to life in HOMMAGE TO WOMEN COMPOSERS. Featuring compositions by 11 female composers-Clara Wieck Schumann, Germaine Tailleferre, Louise Talma, Miriam Gideon, Barbara Pentland, Marga Richter, Thea Musgrave, Jacqueline Fontyn, Marta Ptaszynska, Shulamit Ran, and Lomon herself-HOMMAGE TO WOMEN COMPOSERS offers a cross-section of genius and innovation from the Romantic period to the late 20th Century. From the grace and rhythmic definition of Schumann's Five Caprices (1831) and Polonaise (1832), to the array of lyricism, rhythmic momentum, and moments of pointillist texture in Pentland's Three Piano Duets After Pictures by Paul Klee (1958) and the brief yet personality-packed movements of Ran's Children's Scenes (1970), the diversity of styles, textures, and arrangements all within the genre of piano duet is a marvel to behold. The impact of female composers on the world of music is known by some, although there is a long way to go in unearthing the full treasure trove that is compositions by female artists throughout history. With HOMMAGE TO WOMEN COMPOSERS, the impact is unignorable.
