Description
Between child prodigy and wife: for her ARS PRODUKTION recording, guitarist Heike Matthiesen has selected a programme of virtuoso guitar works from the pens of four now little-known female composers of a generation, each with very different lives. What all the pieces have in common is their exuberant temperament and often also their appealing lightness.
Featured Album of the Week - Classic FM (Drive Discovery with Margherita Taylor, May 22nd - 26th)
"there is true magic when she [Matthiesen] arrives at the minor variation [Variations on 'Non più mesta'], where she slows down almost to a standstill, and that portion is really moving. There follows a riveting finale, which in the concert hall would be met with ovations." – MusicWeb International
