Description: If you can read Catalan and enjoy salon songs which rarely get faster than andante (you can almost feel the afternoon heat and the Mediterranean humidity in the streets of Barcelona), this collection will appeal to you. Naturally, women were able to compose little harmless items like this since they could be performed among themselves and could safely be ignored by men, but Casagemas also wrote an opera which won a prize at the 1892 Chicago Univeral Exhibtion and was later produced in Madrid. Catalan texts. Maria Teresa Garrigosa (soprano), Heidrun Bergander (piano).
