Trio W

Description:

This is a collection of works by female composers who were active during the Romantic period and into the modern era, when there was much prejudice against women composing. Amanda Mayer earned her first "Director of Music" title at the Stockholm School of Music in 1872. She then studied in Leipzig, where she became friends with Brahms, Grieg, and Clara Schumann and composed several works before marrying Julius Lentchen. She married Julius Lentchen, a composer and violinist who devoted himself to composing and died at the age of 41. Her works are characterized by romantic beauty reminiscent of her friends. Croatian-born Pejacevic is a composer who has been attracting increasing attention recently. His remaining 56 works are being recorded one after another. Other works by Lily Boulanger, Amy Beach, and Clara Schumann are also included. These elegant and unique pieces are performed with enthusiasm by the "Trio W" of three German players. Naxos Japan
