VIOLIN SONATAS by "FIRST LADIES": Elfrida ANDREE, Mel BONIS, Ethel SMYTH

Description: "One could hardly intuit from these fresh and flowing violin sonatas the obstacles their female composers had to face – family opposition for Mel Bonis in France and Ethel Smyth in England, institutional conservatism for Elfrida Andrée in Sweden. It has taken a century and more for that initial prejudice to fall away, and they are now beginning to attract a fair hearing for their music. What ultimately matters, of course, is not whether composers are male or female but whether they write good music, and these three sonatas – melodically expansive, rhythmically vivacious, harmonically warm – point to the musical riches that further exploration of their creators’ output will uncover."Brand-new copy of this 2021 CD issue from Britain's enterprising Toccata Music Group—a release on the Toccata Next label, the new companion to the long-established Toccata Classics.
