简介

It is indisputable that men and women perceive reality in different ways. The roles assigned by society and the same biology determine significant differences of expression and perception that are manifested in all areas, including the arts. 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. Although in recent years there has been significant progress for women, there is still a lot to do to promote and appreciate women's creative work. For this reason, we decided to record a CD entirely devoted to works written by Latin American and Iberian female authors, some of whom are active at the present time.  The selected composers belong to different generations and exhibit very different and interesting styles. Among the included composers are the Argentine Lía Cimaglia (Buenos Aires, 1906-1998), a remarkable pianist, pedagogue and composer; Celia Torrá (Conception de Uruguay, 1899-1962), a virtuoso violinist, composer and pedagogue; as well as pianist and composer Irma Urteaga (1929). From Cuba, we include works of the composer and pedagogue Gisela Hernández (1912-1971) and from Brazil, the songs of Babi de Oliveira (1903-1993) and Kilza Setti (1932*). We also feature works by the Mexican composer Maria Grever (1885-1951) and the Catalans Carlota Garriga (1937*), Elisenda Fàbregas (1958*) and Anna Cazurra (1965*). With this recording, we seek to contribute to the appreciation and promotion of the musical compositions of Latin American and Iberian women artists, whose unique voice enriches the history of universal music.
