Radiante (CD)
Championing the music of female composers is central to the vision the Seraphim Trio, one of Australia's most acclaimed ensembles. In this album, they present key works by four inspiring women, across 160 years of history right up to the present day: Germaine Tailleferre, the only female member of the groundbreaking French movement 'Les Six'; Clara Schumann, who sidelined her own creative talent to make room for that of her husband Robert Schumann; the Croatian countess Dora Pejačević, who turned her back on a life of privilege to dedicate herself to music; and a world premiere from rising Australian star Elizabeth Younan. This recording proves beyond the shadow of a doubt the power, passion, beauty and strength of this unjustly neglected music.
