ABCD 537 – Fanfares de Femmes

Duration: :

23,00 

Description

This album presents four French women composers whose compositions for horn deserve to be more widely known. Elsa Barraine, Yvonne Desportes, Claude Arrieu and Hedwige Chrétien were important musical figures in their time, but their careers and music have long been forgotten. The works on this album demonstrate these composers’ versatility and the possibilities of the horn. The works are technically challenging and showcase the expressive and lyrical power, virtuosity, range and sound quality of the instrument.
