This week's
free download is
Allegro from Viardot's Sonatine. Here's the blurb:
This week's free download is the Allegro from Pauline Viardot's Sonatine, written in 1874. It comes from a recent recording of 100 years of music by French female composers by Diana Ambache and friends.
Viardot, sometimes Viardot-García, was a mezzo-soprano and composer who lived and worked in Paris in the late 19th century. Franz Liszt admired Viardot greatly, and said that 'with Pauline Viardot, the world has finally found a woman composer of genius'.
The recording was reviewed in the April issue of BBC Music Magazine
, and was the subject of our April First Listen podcast. Ambache has created a diverse sequence of thoroughly engaging chamber works' writes Christopher Dingle.
