Обложка альбома «Piano Heroines» — Claire Huangci

The four composers featured on Claire Huangci’s <i>Piano Heroines</i> album are all women whose activities were significantly restricted by the social conventions of their period, and by the idea that classical composition was a domain for men only. The music that they did produce flies in the face of such narrow expectations. Five pieces by Fanny Henschel, sister of Felix Mendelssohn, open the programme. Haungci revels in the light-touch tracery of the <i>Capriccio in B Minor</i>, and brings a brooding poetry to “June”, one of four movements included from Henschel’s suite <i>Das Jahr</i>. Pinpoint textural clarity distinguishes Huangci’s performances of American composer Amy Beach’s mercurial <i>Fantasia Fugata</i> and the fluttering “Fire-flies” from <i>Four Sketches</i>. Cellist Tristan Cornut joins Huangci for a heartfelt rendition of the “Romanze” from Clara Wieck’s Piano Concerto (Wieck was Robert Schumann’s wife), and an exuberant account of Florence Price’s <i>Cotton Dance</i> rounds out this entertaining and informative recital.
