简介

Soprano Patricia Caicedo & pianist Nikos Stavlas have devoted themselves to promote Catalan vocal music. This time they record songs by women composers, a repertoire that have been hidden despite its quality. In this CD they record 2 song cycles that were written for them to debute by composers Elisenda Fàbregas and Anna Cazurra. Despite the singularity and uniqueness of female expression, women's artistic output has been virtually ignored until now. In the field of music, few female composers are known. It doesn’t mean that they didn´t exist, but rather that their contribution has not been socially recognized and assessed to the same degree as their male counterparts. For this reason, we decided to record a CD entirely devoted to works written by Catalan female authors, all active at the present time. They are Elisenda Fàbregas (1958), Ana Cazurra (1965) and Carlota Garriga (1939). Most of the works included are new and were dedicated to Patricia Caicedo and are recorded for the first time. The CDs starts with the song cycle Tiempo de Amor by Elisenda Fàbregas. It sets to music the poems of Inb Zaydum and Wallada, Al-Andalusian poets from the X century. Written for soprano, tenor and piano, the cycle is written in a form of dialogue between 2 lovers and describes the different moments of their love relationship. The song cycle Tensho by Anna Cazurra uses poems by Carles Duarte i Montserrat from a poem cycle with the same name. The title, Tensho is a japanese word than means a new era. The CD ends with 2 cycles by Carlota Garriga, one of Catalan folk songs arranged for voice and piano and other title Combat del somni written over a set of poems with the same name by Josep Janés.
